Water

Chandpur district is connected with the rest of Bangladesh by a network of coastal water routes, with waterways in the district spanning 190 nautical miles.

Coastal vessels carry bulk cargo from districts within Chittagong, including Chandpur district, to other important trading centers in the country. The most common commercial items transported by waterways are fuel, oil, cement, food grains and salt. Passenger services along Bangladesh's coastal water routes are not very popular due to their well known poor safety record.
