"While ships typically operate on the Teknaf-Saint Martin, Chattogram-Saint Martin, and Cox's Bazar city-Saint Martin routes each year, the 'MV Karnafuly Express' previously operated from the Bakkhali River jetty at Cox's Bazar city. However, it was unable to operate on that route this year," explained the captain.
The ticket prices for the ship range between Tk1,800 to Tk3,200.
