Shipbroking & ship sale & purchase (S&P) in Bangladesh

S&P broking from first valuation to physical delivery — secondhand tonnage, newbuilding resales and demolition sales into the Chattogram recycling market — backed by the same surveyors who inspect the ships and the yards.

S&P and broking services under this discipline, each with its own page

A broking desk that has stood on the ships it sells

Chattogram sits at a rare intersection of the S&P market: an active secondhand market for handysize-to-panamax tonnage serving the import trades, and one of the world’s principal ship-recycling destinations. Values here are set by people who know both markets — what a fifteen-year-old bulker earns on the Bay of Bengal, and what her lightweight fetches on the beach at Sitakunda.

FleetGo’s S&P desk brokers both sides. Every deal is backed by the firm’s own master mariner and chief engineer surveyors — so a valuation reflects the actual condition of the ship, a pre-delivery inspection is done by the people who will answer for it, and an MOA closing at a Bangladesh anchorage has someone on the spot who has done it before.

S&P and broking services we provide

Sale & Purchase Broking

Full-cycle S&P for secondhand tonnage — market sounding, negotiation, MOA to delivery — for buyers and sellers trading the Bay of Bengal and beyond.

Vessel Valuations & Appraisals

Desktop and inspection-backed valuations for owners, banks and insurers — priced against real fixtures and recent sales, not index averages.

Secondhand Tonnage Search

Targeted acquisition search against your trade, budget and class requirements — candidates screened by our own surveyors before you spend on inspection.

Demolition & Recycling Sales

Sales into the Chattogram recycling market — LDT pricing, HKC/SRR-compliant yard selection, delivery at Sitakunda and payment security.

MOA Negotiation (Saleform)

Clause-level negotiation on SALEFORM 2012 and NSF terms — deposits, inspections, drydocking clauses, delivery conditions and notices.

Pre-Delivery Inspection Coordination

Underwater and physical inspections, class records review and bunker/ROB surveys coordinated around the MOA timetable.

Delivery & Closing Support

Physical delivery at Bangladesh anchorages: protocols, ROB measurement, document exchange and flag/class transfer coordination.

Newbuilding & Resale Contracting

Support on newbuilding contracts and resale positions — specification review, yard reputation and staged-payment risk.

Judicial & Auction Sale Support

Court-ordered and auction sales at Bangladesh ports — inspection access, bidding strategy and post-sale delivery logistics.

Each service above becomes its own dedicated page in the full build — e.g. “Demolition Sales — Chattogram Recycling Market” — following this same template.

What you receive

Frequently asked questions

What does a vessel valuation cost, and how fast can I have it?

A desktop valuation is typically delivered within 2–3 working days; an inspection-backed appraisal depends on the vessel’s position. Fees are fixed and quoted up front — send vessel name, IMO and the purpose (sale, financing, insurance) for a same-day proposal.

Yes — demolition sales into the Chattogram market are a core desk activity. We advise on LDT pricing against current market levels, select yards against HKC/SRR compliance requirements where the flag or financier demands it, and manage delivery at Sitakunda with payment security through the usual LC structure.

Either — never both sides of the same deal. On a given transaction we act exclusively for our principal; where an approach creates a conflict, we say so before terms are discussed.

Yes — that is the desk’s main advantage. Pre-purchase inspections are carried out by FleetGo’s master mariner and chief engineer surveyors, so the condition opinion behind your negotiation is ours, not a third party’s, and the same people attend delivery.

For a sale: vessel name, IMO, class status and your price ideas. For a purchase: type, size range, age, budget and intended trade. Both are handled in strict confidence — the market hears nothing until you approve the approach.

Yes. We coordinate physical delivery at Chattogram outer anchorage and Kutubdia: joint ROB/bunker surveys, delivery protocols, document exchange and flag/class handover — with our own people on board at the moment of delivery.
