Online Report : The second consignment of six metro rail coaches will arrive at Mongla Port on Sunday (May 8).

MV Ocean Grace, a general cargo ship, carrying the flag of Belize, will anchor at Mongla Sea Port with the coaches on board from the Port of Kobe in Japan.

Md Ohiduzzaman, general manager of Ancient Steamship Company Limited, the local agent of MV Ocean Grace, said 48 packages of six coaches, weighing 267 metric tonnes, of the metro rail will arrive at Mongla Port on Sunday.

Japan`s Kawasaki-Mitsubishi Consortium Company Limited manufactured the coaches in its factory in Kobe. In Bangladesh, Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited is the importer of the coaches.
