The cargo side of the desk — for shippers, traders and receivers

Bangladesh is an import trade: grain and fertiliser programmes for food security, clinker and coal for the cement and power belts, steel and project units for an economy still building itself. Every one of those shipments needs the right ship at the right freight — and the shipper’s broker needs to know what Chattogram’s berths, Mongla’s drafts and Payra’s anchorage actually do to a voyage cost.

FleetGo’s cargo desk acts for the cargo side: importers, exporters, traders and industrial buyers. We match parcels to suitable, vetted tonnage, negotiate freight against real fixture data, consolidate part-cargoes where it saves money, and plan seasonal programmes so peak-season freight doesn’t ambush the year’s budget.

Cargo brokerage services we provide

Bulk Cargo Broking

Grain, fertiliser, clinker, coal and raw sugar parcels matched to suitable bulk tonnage — freight negotiated on real Bangladesh fixture data.

Breakbulk & General Cargo Broking

Steel, bagged cargo, timber and unitised parcels booked on liner, tramp and tween-deck tonnage in and out of Bangladesh.

Project & Heavy-Lift Booking

Out-of-gauge and heavy units for power, cement and infrastructure projects — vessel geometry, crane capacity and discharge method checked before booking.

Parcel & Part-Cargo Consolidation

Combining compatible parcels to share a vessel — turning uneconomic small lots into workable freight for each shipper.

Shipper–Owner Matching

Screened owner and operator relationships across the Bay of Bengal trades — the right counterparty, not just the cheapest offer.

Freight Rate Benchmarking

Freight indications benchmarked against recent actual fixtures on your route — so you negotiate from evidence, not hearsay.

Transhipment Arrangement

Mother-vessel and lighterage coordination via Kutubdia and outer anchorages where direct berthing doesn’t pay.

Coastal & Feeder Broking

Coastal and short-sea tonnage for inland and regional distribution — river-draft realities built into the booking.

Seasonal Programme Planning

Annual import programmes structured ahead of peak season — volumes, laycans and freight cover planned as one book.

Each service above becomes its own dedicated page in the full build — e.g. “Project Cargo Booking — Chattogram & Mongla” — following this same template.

What you receive

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to ship a bulk parcel to Chattogram?

Freight depends on commodity, parcel size, load range and season. Send the details and the cargo desk returns current levels benchmarked against recent actual fixtures on your route within hours — free and without obligation.

Same market, opposite side of the desk. The chartering desk serves whoever controls the ship; the cargo desk acts for whoever owns or trades the cargo — finding tonnage, negotiating freight and protecting the shipment. On any one transaction we act for one side only.

Usually, yes. Part-cargo consolidation is a core service: we combine compatible parcels heading to the same range so each shipper pays a workable share of the freight instead of chartering uneconomic space alone.

Yes. Power, cement and infrastructure units are a Bangladesh staple. We check vessel geometry, crane capacity, lashing plans and the discharge method at the receiving port before booking — and can put our own surveyors on the pre-shipment and discharge attendances.

Commodity and stowage factor, quantity, load and discharge ports or ranges, preferred laycan, and any special handling requirements. Indications come back the same day.

Yes. For recurring volumes — grain, fertiliser, clinker, coal — we plan the year as one book: volumes phased around the monsoon and peak season, freight covered through COAs, and nomination flexibility kept where the market may soften.
