Launch and speedboat movement on 12 routes from Barishal river port has been suspended due to heavy rains and gusty wind caused by cyclone "Sitrang" formed over the east-central Bay.

Launch services on the Paturia-Daulatdia and Aricha-Kazirhat routes remain suspended since this morning due to rough weather and strong currents at the Padma and Jamuna rivers.

Launch services on all the routes across the country have been resumed after 36 hours of suspension due to cyclonic storm “Bulbul”.

Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) has said launch services on all the routes will resume on tomorrow morning as the threat to waterways from cyclone Bulbul continues to subside.

Launch services at Sadarghat terminal resumes, following four hours of halt in strike.

Launch service on Paturia-Daulatdia remains suspended since this morning due to strong current in the river Padma triggered by inclement weather.

Four days into the suspension of ferry services, the BIWTA has suspended launch services on Paturia-Daulatdia route since last night due to rough weather.

We are alarmed at the proposal of private launch owners to stop the ongoing process of resurveying fitness of launches across the country.

Launch owners will start operating special services on July 14 from Sadarghat terminal to cope with the passengers rush ahead of Eid.
