Advanced Technic & Inspection Company Limited (ATIC) is a specialized engineering and technical services firm headquartered in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Since its establishment in 2014, the company has operated as a critical support entity for the region’s expanding industrial and maritime sectors. Situated near the country’s primary port, the firm functions as an independent inspection agency, providing essential verification and testing services designed to ensure the structural integrity and operational safety of marine assets and shore-based infrastructure.
The company’s core identity is defined by its expertise in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and engineering surveys. While it serves various heavy industries, including power generation and oil and gas, its operations are deeply integrated into the maritime domain. The firm plays a vital role in the maintenance and certification lifecycles of ocean-going vessels, offering services that allow shipowners and operators to meet stringent regulatory requirements. It is particularly active in the field of hull thickness measurement (UTM) and material testing, which are mandatory prerequisites for vessel classification and statutory surveys.
ATIC employs a team of technical professionals, including marine engineers and certified NDT inspectors, who execute complex assessments both onshore and offshore. The company’s maritime operations encompass a wide range of vessel types, including bulk carriers, oil tankers, container ships, and lighter vessels. By conducting rigorous inspections—ranging from ultrasonic flaw detection to radiographic testing and magnetic particle inspection—the firm helps identify potential structural weaknesses such as corrosion, cracks, or welding defects before they lead to failure.
In addition to direct vessel surveys, the company provides technical support for shipyards involved in new building and repair projects. Its scope of work often extends to the preparation of welding procedure specifications and the qualification of welders, ensuring that repair work meets international maritime standards. The firm operates with recognition from various Classification Societies, allowing it to act as an approved service supplier for thickness gauging and NDT surveys. Through these specialized technical interventions, Advanced Technic & Inspection Company Limited contributes significantly to the safety and reliability of Bangladesh’s maritime logistics chain, supporting both local fleet operators and international vessels calling at the port of Chittagong.
