The port authority and the port were established on 19 November 2013 through the Payra Sea Port Act 2013.[3][4] The port started commercial operations from August 2016 under the port authority.[5] In 2016 China Harbour Engineering Company and China State Construction Engineering had signed an agreement with the authority to improve the port.[6] The deals were worth more than US$500 million and were signed in the Ministry of Shipping in Dhaka.[7] The same year the port authority signed an agreement with Bangladesh Navy to build the approach road to the port.[8]
