Sonadia Island

Sonadia Island is a small island of about 9 sq.km offshore from Cox's Bazaar in southeastern Bangladesh.

Transport

Sonadia is seen as a potential deepwater port lying on the Indian Ocean that could serve the landlocked parts of India, Myanmar and China. [ [http://nation.ittefaq.com/artman/publish/article_35950.shtml Sonadia, Kutubdia channels selected for deep seaport ] ]
