The payment was made following a decision by the CPA board.
A cheque distribution ceremony was held at the CPA boardroom, where senior officials handed over the bonus cheques to owners and representatives of berth, terminal and ship-handling operators.
The port authority said the bonus was funded entirely by the welfare fund established for workers and employees involved in container and cargo handling at Chattogram Port.
The incentive comes as the port continues to handle growing volumes of containers and cargo, placing greater emphasis on maintaining uninterrupted operational activities and labour stability.
