FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you send a proforma disbursement account (PDA)?

Send us the vessel particulars (GRT/NRT, LOA, draft), cargo, quantity, port and ETA. We normally respond with a PDA the same working day; urgent requests are handled round the clock.

Can you act as our local agent for a government import tender?

Yes. We provide a local agent nomination letter, pre-bid port and cost information, and full agency at discharge — including discharge supervision, SOF and outturn documentation. Send us the tender reference to start.

What is an OPA, and when do we need one?

An owner's protective agent (OPA) looks after the ship owner's interests when the charterer appoints the port agent. We monitor the port call, costs, laytime and incidents independently and report directly to the owner.

Do foreign-flag vessels need a waiver certificate to load or discharge in Bangladesh?

In general, yes — under the Bangladesh Flag Vessels (Protection of Interest) Act 2019 a waiver certificate from the Mercantile Marine Office is normally required. Requirements can change, so we confirm the current rule and start the application early for every fixture.

Can you arrange crew changes in Chattogram?

Yes. We handle sign-on/sign-off formalities, immigration, hotel, transport and airport transfers, and coordinate with the vessel's manning agents.

How do you handle the final disbursement account?

After sailing we issue a final DA itemised against the PDA, with copies of supporting vouchers, and settle any balance promptly.
