The breakbulk vessel MV OT IDEAAL arrived at the Chittagong Seaport on 14th January 2022 with defense cargo from UN Mission.

The vessel originated from Kenya and was gearless. The Shodesh operations team's first challenge was receiving berthing permissions since gearless break-bulk vessels are not permitted to berth at Chittagong Seaport Jetty. Decades of personal rapport with port authorities backed by their professional know-how allowed them to get all the required permissions, and the vessel was allowed to berth at the New Mooring Container Terminal Jetty.

The harbor aided in the discharge of cargo from the vessel after completing the Customs procedure. A total of 34 vehicles were used to deliver the load from the port to the delivery site. A crane with a capacity of 50 tons was used to unload the cargo at the job site.
