ANDAMAN SEA: The Rohingya aid ship will stop at Chittagong port in Bangladesh after its government refused to let it dock in Teknaf, which is closer to the Myanmar border.

The organisers hoped that Bangladesh would provide visas to the 185 passengers, mostly volunteers, on board the ship upon arrival at Chittagong.
