Crew Change at Chittagong, Mongla, and Payra Ports of Bangladesh.
Chattogram and Mongla are the prime maritime ports in Bangladesh. Most of the shipowners prefer crew sign-off/from these two ports due to communication and other facilities. Chattogram is the port city, and Dhaka is the capital city of Bangladesh. There are three International Airports in the country, and Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Dhaka, is the largest and the principal international airport. There is another international airport at Chattogram, but most of the international flight comes from Dhaka. Crew change from Chattogram port or other ports requires local communication by road or by domestic flight heading towards Dhaka to connect with the respective international flight.
