Convention because the plant is to be built in a forest and sensitive wetlands area.

• Water column may be polluted due to oil spillage, coal spillage and other malpractice like

• waste discharge, discharge of ballast and bilge water etc

• Ship-to-ship transfer activities, shipping and barging activities at Akram point will generate noise create disturbance to the wildlife of the Sundarbans. • Ballast water, oil spillage and coal dropping might

affect pneumatological of Mangrove plants
