BSBK has the mandate to provide cargo handling and storage facilities in the land ports to facilitate collection of customs revenues, on the imports from India and Myanmar. The revenues are collected by the Bangladesh Customs. BDR checks unauthorized access of contraband goods and illegal trades through the land ports and adjacent border areas. Currently, BSBK has thirteen land ports as illustrated in the adjacent map. Development of the Land Ports on BOT Basis The Ministry of Shipping and the BSBK decided to develop twelve land ports (excluding Benapole) on Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) basis through private sector for better and efficient storage and handling of cargoes. By adopting the BOT arrangement, government funds required for making initial investment are saved. After being approved by the ministry, the Private Infrastructure Committee (PICOM) enlisted the project on 20 April 2005. Under the BOT system, BSBK acquires the land and leases it to an investor. The investor is selected through a transparent process, following the Bangladesh Private Sector Infrastructure Guidelines (PSIG), to develop the land port and operate and maintain it for 25 years. In return, the investor will pay an agreed amount of royalty to BSBK. The investor has the right to charge the port users for the services provided for cargo storage and handling. After expiry of the term, the investor will transfer the land port to BSBK including all fixed and movable assets. Agreement signing between Panama Hili Port Link Limited and BSBK Commercial Arrangement BSBK provides right to the concessionaire to invest, operate and maintain the land port for a term of 25 years. The investor shall: - collect handling and storage charges (at the rates existing at Benapole) - pay to BSBK a fixed and variable royalty for the right to do business. At the end of the BOT term, the investor shall transfer the land port to BSBK free of cost. The Hili Land Port Hili Land Port is located in Hakimpur upazila of Dinajpur district. The land acquired for port site is about 700 meter away from the Bangladesh-Indian borderline. The proposed site is only 1 km away from the upazila headquarters. Total 10 acres land of Dharandha mouza has been acquired for development of the port. Currently, the port handles trade with the Indian state of West Bengal. Fresh fruits, spices, food grains, sugar, boulder stones, slate stones are the principal imported items of this port. On the other hand molasses, soft drinks etc. are mainly exported through this port. Around 30 thousand passengers pass through this port between Bangladesh and India annually. The Concessionaire Panama Hili Port Link Limited After winning the tender, the sponsor established the Panama Hili Port Link Limited as a special purpose vehicle to fulfill the obligations and duties under the agreements. Accordingly, BSBK awarded the project to the sponsor and signed concession agreement on 9 October 2005 and the land lease agreement was signed on 4 January 2006. Construction under the agreement has already started from January 2006 and commercial operation is expected by December 2007.
