Bangladesh RMG exporters worried over political turmoil in Sri Lanka
16 May 22 1 min read
More than 10 feeder vessels carrying export goods either remained stuck or are on the way to Colombo, a Bangladesh English-language daily reported quoting unnamed shipping executives.
The vessels operating between Chittagong and Colombo faced delays when the fuel crisis began in the island country a few months back. The length of a voyage on the Chittagong-Colombo-Chittagong route increased to 10-11 days instead of the normal eight days.
Curfew is in force now across Sri Lanka after mobs burned down homes belonging to the ruling Rajapaksa family members amid mounting anger following an acute economic crisis.
