Several boats seen under a bridge on the river Ganga. Bangladesh is a country on water. With huge portion of its territory in the river delta of Ganga (which is called Padma here) and Brahmaputra, people have to live on water and rely on water transport. Huge ferries "made in Bangladesh" leave river ports to transport tens of thousands of passengers every day to their destinations. Most of them just with poor - or none - radar equipment. Although many bad news about accidents, the fact is, that the river transport still remains the safest and effective.
