从协会孟加拉国联络处获悉在孟加拉湾，尤其是吉大港外锚地的船舶事故显著上升。船舶因外锚地强大的水下暗流而走锚的情况十分普遍，尤其是那些吃水较深的船舶。某些情况下，船舶试图以很近的距离从抛锚船舶的船头穿过，从而导致碰撞。通常事故原因包括抛锚点的使用不正确和低估了当地风、潮汐和流等因素的影响。

Chittagong, Bangladesh – risk of collision and grounding
Information received from Gard’s contacts in Bangladesh indicates that accidents involving ships in the Bay of Bengal, and the outer anchorage of the Port of Chittagong in particular, have increased dramatically. Dragging of anchor due to strong underwater current at the outer anchorage, particularly by vessels drawing a deeper fresh water draft, is a common occurrence. In some instances, vessels attempting to cross the bow of an anchored vessel at close range have been involved in collisions. Common factors behind the incidents include incorrect use of anchoring space and underestimating local conditions such as wind, tides and currents.
