DP World, a Dubai-based multinational logistics company, will invest $1 billion in Bangladesh’s supply chain infrastructure, including ports, rail network and inland container terminals, reports UNB.
This is within the scope of the government-to-government agreement entered into in 2019 for public-private participation on infrastructure projects, said a press release of the company on Tuesday.

The assurance came when a high-level delegation of the Bangladesh government led by state minister for shipping Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury, visited Jebel Ali Free Zone and the Jebel Ali Port in Dubai on 21-23 November.
The delegation included Sultana Afroz, secretary and chief executive officer for Public-Private Partnership Authority, Mohammed Mezbah Uddin Chowdhury, secretary, ministry of shipping; and Rear Admiral M Shahjahan, chairman of Chittagong Port Authority and other senior government officials.

During the tour, they also visited the DP World Pavilion at the Expo 2020 Dubai.
The visit represents a key step in reinforcing DP World’s commitment to partner with the government of Bangladesh in enhancing its supply chain infrastructure and processes, it said.






The delegation met Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, group chairman and CEO of DP World, Mohammed Al Muallem, executive vice president – office of the chairman DP World, and Rizwan Soomar, CEO and managing director, DP World Subcontinent; and other DP World officials.
The delegation was also briefed on DP World’s range of products and services, which covers every link of the integrated supply chain – from maritime and inland terminals to marine services and industrial parks, as well as technology-driven customer solutions.
The delegation members witnessed demonstration of BoxBay, the new intelligent High Bay Storage (HBS) system, toured the Jebel Ali Free Zone and visited the DP World Cruise Terminal.
Visitors to the five-floor DP World Flow pavilion, which has four main galleries, have an opportunity to explore the movement of commerce around the world that drives the global economy, giving a unique insight into the innovative technology of supply chains.

The pavilion’s FlowLive event programme brings together leaders of governments and commerce to shape the future of world trade, while its education programme seeks to inspire young people to join the logistics industry.

DNATA was supposed to take over Biman's ground handling fifteen years ago, The CAAB and Biman Luggage Chor ground handling Union kiboshed that plan. I'll have to look at the details for this one - apparently Dubai Ports takes care of their airport too.

Have you guys seen the Airport infra inside Dhaka Airport (Airside)? American Airbases during WWII looked far better.

There are bushes uncut in between the runways and taxiways (sheyal ghurey), no level ground in between the taxiways and the tarmac, ground hasn't been leveled anywhere other than runways (which is in complete violation of world airport standards), grass hasn't been cut in decades, hardly any safety clearance between large aircraft taxiing and construction excavators working on the third terminal high speed taxiway being built, it's a damn shame.

Aircraft taking off and kamlas working in lungis fifteen feet from the runway paved areas in risk of engine jet blasts which could result in 100% 2nd degree burns.

These CAAB airport management f*ckers are the worlds most incompetent Shuwars and you couldn't make these idiots understand what a modern airport looks/functions like, with proper tarmac cleaning, marking and asphalt paved margin areas, even if you drilled the lessons into their brain. These moron f*ckers can see Suvarnabhumi in Bangkok which is 3 hours away and is a world class airport. When will these low class itar gadhas take some action for this most important airport in the country?? Not like they get paid gate fees any less than any other airport???

And on top of that we have a micro mini airport compared to even regional airports overseas - Thanks to BAF who took over half the area of the airport anyway and most of the area that existed for the 2nd runway. The least these CAAB f*ckers could do (run by ex-AF gadha low lifes) is to at least keep the vegetation trimmed, the grass cut and the taxiways well-marked/lighted. And while at it, give those chowkidar-type ATC f*ckfaces some English lessons.

Sotoloker bacchara airport chalai. Two months ago we had cows hit by a B737 during takeoff at Cox's bazaar because they had four ansar idiots as security sentries who had allowed these cow owners free grazing rights in exchange for meals.

These guys make me so angry I could barf!!

There are many reasons that we were easily colonized and there are many other reasons that we cannot deliver. All because we lack many human qualities and many people of the developed countries have these more than they need.

However, Dubai companies are professionals. If they invest, the country will be benefitted. Our people working in those companies would get trained.

Very well articulated. This paints a very accurate picture of civil aviation management in BD.

Both CAAB and Biman managements are full of people who have no expertise in managing civil aviation. At least when BA and BN are charged with the responsibility of running organisations, they have enough sense to administer properly and hire competent people. With BAF and civilian bureaucrats, that is too much to ask for.

Whatever may be the scale of mismanagement in BIMAN, but you are asking for opening Pandora's box by suggesting to train or teach the management, I ask who will teach them and again who will be teaching the teachers and so on--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------? Is not it a Pandora's Box?

BD Muslim people remained uneducated during most of the 190 years of British rule. We did not learn from them but Hindu Indians learned in that period. So, we can see the difference in the qualities of the two people in administering their respective countries.

Now. Bd administration has no senior people to teach them modern way of administration and our great administrators are also not willing to learn from others. Because it would mean that they are unlearned, and they are not willing to accept that.

I hope the Dubai administration for civil aviation comes, our people work under them and learn things.

It can be a good opportunity for us to learn. Now, please enjoy reading below news to know what our administrators thinks of themselves. BIMAN administrators are more than this.

Extravagant expenditure on vehicles at Dhaka city corporations

Vehicle luxury is rampant at both Dhaka city corporations. At least 45 officials, who are not entitled to vehicle privilege, use the vehicles of the city corporations in the DSCC while 42 officials do so in the DNCC. Families of several officials also use the corporation’s vehicles.

Luv nai - @bluesky bhai. If you have to learn you at least need basic ability to learn. These people are unqualified even to learn. Itar gadhas from Mofussil uneducated background who somehow got an air force commission then rose through the ranks by a$$-kissing and brown-nosing.

Ghotey kono podartho nai, sotolok itorer baccha eguli bhalo kisu shikhteo chaina, shikhar khomotao nai. Shudhu poisha marar taley asey. Mone kore AF er officer hoye gesey, "na jani ami ki honu rey". Hum ho gaya kisika kaun....

If you have to re-vamp CAAB, you can't do that using these gadhas. They bring no competent skill to the table, neither superior financial, technical skills running airports, nor project mgmt. skills to build/refurbish airports or even judge competency of contractors building them.

I shudder to think how these itar CAAB idiots will run the new 3rd terminal. It will be a disaster I believe...

It pains me to observe how AAI in India builds airports and how we build airports. Even their Directorate General of Civil Aviation (AKA Civil Aviation Authority) is run far better than ours, which these CAAB idiots could benchmark, given how much they kiss India's a$$. They never did.

There was a British CEO running Biman about five plus years ago (who had retired when Biman also retired the DC-10's) who had frankly pinpointed CAAB management as the ONLY reason why Biman's ground operations run so badly. I think his disgust was the main reason he left the job.

Then Biman hired some Indian dhappabaz CFO from India who misappropriated a bunch of money in cahoots with CAAB. That Indian probably got appointed by some India-shill madar**od Minister on a sifarish.

CAAB is hopeless. All management personnel should be fired and replaced with experienced overseas consultants (but definitely not from India, for many reasons). Maybe Thailand or some tourist intensive country.

It took CAAB some fifty years to get long range radar to charge overflights for these fifty years. In the interim Kolkata airport dadas made all this overflight charge money for every flight that passed through Bangladesh, and this is an extremely busy overflight corridor. Every flight going to Bangkok, Vietnam, Hong Kong and some cities in China overflies Bangladesh.

Can you IMAGINE the incompetency of these CAAB Shuwars? They should all be lined up and buggy-whipped, even the retired ones.

For that matter every one of the air travel ministers deserve this same fate...

I know this British guy left BIMAN. During his stay in Dhaka, he pinpointed many problems, found solutions but our Golden BD administrators did not want to follow his lead. They wanted only to fill their pockets and get more perks and privileges, nothing else counts to them. So, he left.

During the BNP time situation was no better. So, I say BAL and BNP are the two sides of the same coin. I hope good leaders would come out in the next election. However, I have again some reservations about their performance, too. Many of them probably now live in Western countries. But are they managing companies?

Our people have eyes, but they cannot see even if they live in highly sophisticated developed Western countries. Becoming a teacher here and there is also no use without first comprehending the process of national economic development.

This is why I expect more disappointments in the immediate future.

The CAAB idiots cannot even use a tractor attachment to clear the grass and the brush around the Taxiways and Runways. It takes an attachment which costs barely one lakh from several Kolkata Manufacturers, they could even contract mfrs. in Bangladesh to make these simple things and then power these with small tractors. It is called a rotary slasher to clear brush and weeds.

I mean What... The... F*ck ?!?

Do these CAAB people even have human competence?? Monkeys is more like it.

Look at how simple this thing is, a power take off, right angle worm gear reducer (common item), universal joints and some loosely connected slasher arms. Meant to clear brush especially around airports.
