The project includes two oil recovery vessels, one waste collection vessel, a PRF treatment plant, one dump barge, one self-propelled barge, one service tugboat, one pontoon, and the construction of jetty and yard facilities. The project will also support Bangladesh’s commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in environmental protection and marine biodiversity conservation.
