Pangaon Port (BDPGN) — Port Overview

Dhaka District, Bangladesh | UN/LOCODE: BDPGN | Inland river container port

Pangaon is an inland port and container terminal on the Buriganga River in Keraniganj Upazila, Dhaka District. It serves the cargo requirements of Dhaka, Bangladesh’s principal commercial and industrial market, and functions as a river-connected alternative for container flows associated with the capital. The terminal opened in 2013 and is positioned approximately 20 kilometres from the Dhaka metropolitan area according to the supplied port record. Its logistics profile is defined by river-barge access, a compact container yard and road distribution into the Dhaka hinterland. Our service team treats BDPGN as a Dhaka-area inland routing point rather than assuming the characteristics of a deep-sea gateway; ocean legs, feeder connections, customs procedures and final inland delivery must therefore be confirmed shipment by shipment.

Key Highlights

Dhaka-oriented location

Positioned in Keraniganj on the Buriganga River, BDPGN supports container distribution to and from the Dhaka metropolitan and industrial area.

River-connected inland handling

Its operating model depends on inland waterway movements and onward road delivery, so barge availability and river conditions can affect planning.

Defined container capacity

The supplied record states a 55,000-square-metre container yard with storage capacity of 3,500 TEU and annual handling of 116,000 TEU.

Compact berth profile

The supplied record describes a 180-metre-long, 26-metre-wide jetty able to berth two vessels of approximately 70–75 metres simultaneously.

Facilities & Services

Container yard	Reported container yard area: 55,000 square metres; reported storage capacity: 3,500 TEU. Actual stack allocation and free-time conditions require terminal confirmation.
Berth and vessel interface	Reported jetty dimensions are 180 metres by 26 metres, with simultaneous berthing capability for two vessels of approximately 70–75 metres, subject to operating and river conditions.
Handling equipment	The supplied 2017 equipment description includes one mobile harbour crane, two straddle carriers, four forklifts, two tractor trailers and two cargo-lifting cranes. Equipment availability should be reconfirmed before nomination.
Transport connectivity	Core connectivity is river-to-road. Our team arranges the ocean or feeder leg separately where required, then coordinates barge, terminal handling, customs release and truck delivery into the Dhaka area.
Storage and inspection planning	Container storage and customs or regulatory inspection arrangements depend on terminal instructions, cargo profile and applicable Bangladeshi procedures; they should not be treated as automatically included in the base freight.

Routes & Logistics Timing

For overseas imports and exports, our service team verifies the complete chain: ocean or feeder port, inland waterway leg to or from Pangaon, terminal handling and final road delivery. BDPGN should not be presented as a guaranteed direct deep-sea call.
Common planning directions include Dhaka-area import distribution and export consolidation for Bangladesh trade flows. The actual routing depends on the nominated carrier, origin or destination port, equipment availability and booking acceptance.
Transit time is influenced by vessel or barge schedules, river navigability, berth congestion, customs release, document discrepancies, truck availability and urban traffic around Dhaka. We quote only after receiving the cargo details and confirmed routing.
For time-critical cargo, our team checks both the planned river connection and a road-based contingency before cargo cut-off, rather than relying on a single unverified schedule.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary hinterland

Dhaka and its surrounding industrial and commercial districts are the principal service market, with Keraniganj providing the immediate terminal context.

Typical containerized flows

General merchandise, industrial inputs, consumer goods, machinery, project-related components and export cargo may be suitable, subject to commodity and regulatory acceptance.

Manufacturing connection

The Dhaka-region manufacturing base creates demand for regular import replenishment and export evacuation, but cargo-specific origin, factory loading and delivery constraints must be assessed.

Consolidation suitability

Our team evaluates FCL, buyer’s consolidation and deconsolidation options according to cargo volume, delivery urgency, customs requirements and the availability of an approved handling point.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-offs: Booking, cargo receiving, documentation, customs submission and river-barge cut-offs are separate controls. Our team obtains the applicable terminal and carrier deadlines in writing; published cut-offs may change with berth, barge or weather conditions.
Documents: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, accurate HS classification, consignee and notify-party details, import or export permissions and any commodity-specific certificates must be checked before cargo acceptance.
Dangerous goods: Dangerous goods require prior acceptance, correct UN number, class, packing group, labels, packing declaration and multimodal transport information. Shippers must not move restricted cargo to the terminal before written approval.
Inspection and inland delivery: Customs examination, seal verification, container condition, truck access, bridge or road restrictions and urban congestion can extend dwell or delivery time. Our team plans a pre-alert and escalation route for discrepancies.

Regulatory treatment, permitted cargo, customs release and terminal charges are subject to the shipment date and applicable Bangladeshi authorities. Final acceptance is always based on the carrier, terminal and customs confirmation.

Shipping Tips from Our Service Team

Send the commercial invoice, packing list, HS code, cargo dimensions, gross weight, container type, Incoterm and desired delivery point before booking so we can test the full BDPGN routing.
Reserve schedule margin for river conditions, terminal handling and Dhaka-area road traffic. Do not align factory loading or vessel connection solely with an assumed port cut-off.
Use seaworthy packing, moisture protection and clear package marks; river and terminal handling may expose cargo to repeated lifts and changing weather conditions.
For urgent, oversized, hazardous or customs-sensitive cargo, ask our team to compare BDPGN with a suitable alternative routing and to confirm any additional handling or inspection requirements before dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BDPGN a seaport or an inland port?

BDPGN is an inland river port and container terminal on the Buriganga River serving Dhaka. Our team therefore confirms the connected ocean, feeder or inland-waterway leg instead of treating the code as a standalone deep-sea port call.

Can our shipment be delivered directly to Dhaka from BDPGN?

Yes, Dhaka-area delivery is the port’s principal logistics purpose, but the final truck route, consignee location, container type, road access and customs release must be checked before dispatch.

Does the port support dangerous goods?

Possible acceptance depends on the commodity, applicable regulations, carrier and terminal approval. Provide the SDS, UN number, class, packing group and quantity to our team before booking; never assume acceptance from ordinary container availability.

What commonly causes delay at Pangaon?

Typical risk points include separate barge and terminal cut-offs, river conditions, berth or equipment availability, customs examination, incomplete documents, container holds and Dhaka-area road congestion. We monitor each handover rather than relying only on the vessel schedule.

Are the stated yard and handling figures guaranteed for every shipment?

No. The 3,500 TEU storage capacity, 116,000 TEU annual handling figure and equipment details are from the supplied port record. Current operating availability, stack space and service conditions must be reconfirmed for the specific shipment.
