Cargo vessels from Assam’s Dibrugarh are set to sail to Bangladesh, ferrying methanol to the neighbouring country through the Brahmaputra river, an official said. Assam Petro-Chemicals Ltd (APL) Chairman Bikul Deka claimed that this will mark the resumption of the export route from the eastern town through waterways since Independence.
He said two vessels of the state government’s Inland Water Transport Department have been leased by the APL to export methanol to Bangladesh.
