This route runs through Lianyungang port, then follows an Indian Ocean passage after the Malacca Strait; at the far end is the port of Mongla.

On the Bangladeshi side DG need a Navy NOC and quick removal from the port. The 5 points below are particular to this lane; each comes with what we do and the paperwork it touches.

What we need to start

  • Lianyungang export
  • Break-bulk ESS guide
  • Exact DG naming
  • 72-hour removal
  • Navy NOC

Where this route gets difficult

What to watch between Lianyungang and Mongla: 5 points

They run from the Lianyungang terminal through the voyage to Mongla and the Bangladesh import file.

  1. Origin port

    Yellow Sea fog from April to July

    The China Meteorological Administration describes sea fog as a major marine hazard in the Yellow and Bohai Seas, mainly from April to July. At Lianyungang, as at Qingdao, fog can hold vessels at anchor, and a changed vessel means amended DG filings.

    What Anxin does: In fog season we keep slack between stuffing and the DG cut-off and have the filing data ready to amend.

  2. Origin port

    A shorter document list at Lianyungang, not a shorter check

    Lianyungang MSA's Notice No. 1 of 2024 cut the materials for 'new three' cargo to four on the cargo side: the safe-carriage declaration, the inspector-signed packing certificate, the packaging inspection certificate where packaged, and a power of attorney. Fewer papers means each one carries more weight; the packing certificate still has to be signed by a certified inspector after supervised stuffing.

    What Anxin does: We prepare the four cargo-side documents together and check that the packing certificate, the packaging certificate and the declaration describe the same UN numbers and quantities.

  3. Sea corridor

    Two cyclone seasons in the North Indian Ocean

    The India Meteorological Department describes two cyclone seasons in the North Indian Ocean, April–May and October–December, the latter being the main one. Port closures and vessels waiting out a storm push the arrival at Mongla back.

    What Anxin does: For sailings in those months we plan delivery with slack at Mongla and confirm the carrier's revised arrival before booking onward transport.

  4. Import country

    The manifest must give the correct class and technical name

    NBR rules require dangerous goods to conform to the IMDG Code and to be declared on the manifest with the correct class and technical name. A vague description such as 'batteries' for cargo to Mongla is not enough and can hold the container.

    What Anxin does: We give the carrier the exact proper shipping name, UN number and class for the manifest, matching the DG declaration.

  5. Import country

    Draft limits at Mongla

    Mongla takes container vessels of about 7.5 m draft; dredging to 9.5-10 m is targeted for December 2029. Boxes for Mongla normally come on feeders, and the relay port has to accept the batteries too.

    What Anxin does: We confirm the feeder routing to Mongla and check that DG acceptance covers every vessel.

Before you book

Match the details first

We line up UN numbers, model names and package counts across the Lianyungang filings, the booking with the carrier and the documents for Bangladesh before the booking is confirmed, so that a mismatch is fixed at origin rather than discovered at Mongla.

Carriers we book with

Our booking panel; availability on this lane and acceptance of the declared UN numbers are confirmed for each booking. It does not mean that a listed carrier runs a direct service on this route. Carrier choice depends on the trade lane, cargo classification and each carrier's dangerous-goods acceptance at booking. The final carrier is confirmed on the booking.
