📄 Specialized Maritime Documentation & Customs Compliance
As your licensed agent, we take absolute ownership of the dense regulatory and administrative workflow required by Bangladesh Customs, Port Authorities, and Mercantile Marine departments. Our dedicated documentation team executes:
Pre-Arrival Manifesting & Inward Entry: Preparing and submitting the Inward Import General Manifest (IGM) to Bangladesh Customs via the ASYCUDA system within mandatory statutory timelines before the vessel drops anchor. We secure the Inward Entry Permission from the port authority seamlessly.
Vessel Clearance Documentation: Compiling, verifying, and presenting critical marine documents including the Certificate of Registry, Load Line Certificate, Safety Radio Certificate, and Ship Sanitation Control Certificate to local maritime surveyors.
Port Entry & Sailing Formalities: Managing the issuance and filing of the Notice of Readiness (NOR) upon arrival. Prior to departure, we clear all local port dues, pilotage fees, and berthage charges to swiftly secure the official Port Clearance Certificate (PCC), preventing costly sailing delays.
Cargo Documentation Processing: Efficiently managing the release of Delivery Orders (DO), verifying Bills of Lading (B/L), preparing Statement of Facts (SOF), and compiling comprehensive Time Sheets to accurately calculate laytime and protect you from demurrage disputes.
Immigration & Health Declarations: Flawlessly processing the Crew List, Passenger List, Crew Declaration forms, and Maritime Declaration of Health to obtain immediate Free Pratique from Port Health Officers.
🏗️ On-Ground Port Operations & Vessel Husbanding
Beyond the paperwork, we deploy experienced port boarding officers to manage the physical footprint of your vessel call:
Port & Stevedoring Coordination: We liaise directly with port traffic departments and pilotage services to secure swift berth allocation. We oversee fast stevedoring and cargo handling operations to maximize cargo loading and discharging rates.
Comprehensive Husbanding Care: We deliver highly coordinated husbanding support, including the procurement of secure bunkering (fuel and lubricants), freshwater supply, technical ship provisions, deck and engine store delivery, and coordinate specialized marine surveys.
Crew Logistics & Medical Support: We manage smooth crew changes, handle OK-to-Board letters, airport transfers, port visa arrangements, and secure immediate medical assistance for vessel personnel whenever required.
Financial Transparency: We provide clear, accurate, and structured Disbursement Accounts (DA) with zero hidden variables, ensuring ship operators can audit local expenses with total confidence.
