Commercial, regulatory and operational advisory for shipowners, charterers, cargo interests and investors trading Bangladesh — port feasibility, compliance, due diligence and expert opinion, grounded in daily attendance at Chattogram, Mongla, Payra, Matarbari and Kutubdia.
consultancy services under this discipline, each with its own page
Bangladesh rewards principals who understand its specifics: draft restrictions that force lightering at Kutubdia, tariff structures that differ berth to berth, a regulatory landscape spanning the Department of Shipping, port authorities, customs and class. Generic advice fails here. FleetGo’s consultancy desk works from daily operational contact with all five gateways — the same firm whose surveyors are aboard vessels at those ports every week.
We advise shipowners entering the trade, charterers structuring fixtures, cargo interests planning import programmes, and investors weighing port, yard and tonnage opportunities. Every engagement ends in a written deliverable — a feasibility study, compliance report, due-diligence file or expert opinion — that you can put in front of a board, a bank or a tribunal.
Trade, routing and cost analysis for owners and operators entering or expanding in Bangladesh — grounded in live port and fixture data.
Berth, draft, cargo-mix and hinterland analysis for Chattogram, Mongla, Payra and Matarbari — for investors, lines and terminal operators.
Department of Shipping, port authority and customs requirements mapped to your operation — before a deficiency finds them for you.
Coordination with classification societies and flag administrations for surveys, certificates and dispensations at Bangladesh ports.
Independent verification of vessels, yards, terminals and counterparties for buyers, financiers and insurers — documents, site attendance, honest opinion.
Gap analysis and preparation ahead of external audits, drawing on our own auditors’ seagoing and PSC experience.
Initial Assessment: Conduct a preliminary review of historical vetting performance and target benchmarks.
Document Review: Verify certificates, maintenance records, and operational logs for regulatory compliance.
Physical Inspection: Inspect cargo areas, deck machinery, pump rooms, engine spaces, and the bridge.
Crew Interaction: Evaluate crew competence and operational readiness regarding the SIRE 2.0 framework.
Deficiency Report: Issue a detailed corrective action report to rectify gaps prior to vetting.
Gap Analysis: Perform independent evaluations against safety management system criteria.
Mock Audit: Simulate official Recognized Organization (RO) audits to verify vessel readiness.
Compliance Evaluation: Assess the effective implementation of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code.
System Verification: Review safety management documentation, emergency drill records, and safety practices.
Deficiency Identification: Detect technical and operational gaps before Port State Control (PSC) boarding.
Readiness Improvement: Enhance overall vessel compliance status to mitigate risk of detention.
Clause-level review of charterparties, COAs and service contracts touching Bangladesh trades — laytime, bunkers, lightering and port-specific risks.
Line-by-line DA review and tariff benchmarking across Bangladesh ports, recovering the margins agents rarely volunteer.
Written expert opinion and evidence for arbitration and court proceedings — from professionals who still attend the ports in question.
Each service above becomes its own dedicated page in the full build — e.g. “Port Feasibility Study — Payra & Matarbari” — following this same template.
Describe the project, trade or problem. We define scope, deliverable and fee within one working day.
Desk research plus site and port attendance where it matters — documents verified, people interviewed, berths walked.
Interim findings discussed with you before drafting — no surprises in the final paper.
A written study, report or opinion fit for boards, banks and tribunals — with the author available for questions after.
Port feasibility — Chattogram — berth productivity, draft limits and cargo-mix analysis on the Karnaphuli.
Maritime consultancy in Bangladesh — regulatory, commercial and operational advisory nationwide.
Terminal studies — Mongla Port — Pashur River capacity and hinterland analysis for the southwest.
Investment advisory — Payra Port — Rabnabad Channel prospects for coal, clinker and the power belt.

Operations advisory — Kutubdia — lightering economics and logistics for deep-draft trades.
It depends on scope: a charterparty clause review is priced differently from a full port feasibility study. Every engagement starts with a free scoping call and a written fee proposal within one working day — fixed fee wherever the scope allows, so there are no hourly surprises.
Yes — this is a core engagement. We cover regulatory requirements, agency and partner selection, port capabilities and constraints, realistic cost structures and the practical risks that don’t appear in published guides, with introductions where appropriate.
Yes. We analyse draft and channel limits, berth productivity, cargo pipelines, hinterland connections and tariff positions for all Bangladesh gateways — including realistic assessments of the Matarbari deep-sea build-out timeline against announced plans.
Our senior consultants — master mariners, chief engineers and claims specialists — provide written expert opinions and oral evidence for arbitration and court proceedings on Bangladesh port practice, survey standards and operational matters.
A short description of the project, trade or dispute; the decision you need to make; and your timeline. A 30-minute call is usually enough to define scope and quote a fee.
A compliance review or contract advisory typically runs 1–2 weeks; a full feasibility or due-diligence study 4–8 weeks depending on site attendance and data access. The scoping note commits to a delivery date before work begins.
