Our terminal

APM Terminals Laldia is a landmark port infrastructure project in Chattogram, Bangladesh, being developed by APM Terminals in partnership with the Chittagong Port Authority and local partner QNS Container Services Ltd. As one of the country’s first and largest public-private investments in a new port facility, the terminal will increase capacity, strengthen connectivity and support Bangladesh’s growing role in global trade.

Built for Bangladesh's future

As Bangladesh's economy and trade volumes continue to grow, efficient port infrastructure will play an increasingly important role in lifting trade. APM Terminals Laldia will provide the capacity, modern technology and operational efficiency needed to support businesses, improve supply-chain performance and connect the country more effectively to regional and global markets.

Once fully operational in 2030, the terminal will enable larger vessels to call at Chattogram, improve cargo flows and deliver greater reliability for shipping lines, importers and exporters, strengthening supply chains and easing pressure across the port ecosystem.

Supporting trade and industry

The terminal will support key industries such as apparel, while creating new opportunities for sectors including pharmaceuticals, leather and footwear. By strengthening connectivity and reducing logistics bottlenecks, it will help businesses be more competitive, and support Bangladesh’s next phase of economic growth.

Built for efficient, future-ready operations

APM Terminals Laldia will incorporate energy-efficient technology for lower-emissions operations. Planned features include electrified cargo handling equipment, solar power generation and shore-power-ready infrastructure to support the shipping industry and country’s decarbonisation ambitions.
