Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal to Flag Off First International Cargo Voyage from Dibrugarh

Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal will flag off the first international cargo voyage from Dibrugarh at Bogibeel Terminal, with Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma joining virtually. The maiden voyage will transport methanol produced by Assam Petro-Chemicals Limited (APCL) from Bogibeel to Pangaon Port in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The journey will traverse National Waterway-2 (river Brahmaputra) and the Indo-Bangladesh Protocol Route (IBPR). This marks the first cargo consignment to sail from Dibrugarh to a foreign port since Independence, intended to revive Upper Assam's historical river trade links and promote inland waterways.
