Island hazard: Lighterage workers play on an island in the Bay of Bengal during low tide. The increasing number of underwater islands near Chattogram Port threatens this crucial economic lifeline of the country. Lighterages, barges and other vessels often run aground on the shoals at low tide. Mother vessels have to anchor in deeper waters at the port’s outer anchorage to avoid the submerged hazards.
