ANCHOR MARINE & SHIPPING TRADE CO

Based in the bustling port city of Chittagong, Anchor Marine & Shipping Trade Co functions as a comprehensive maritime service provider within the Bangladesh shipping sector. Established in 2010, the company has integrated itself into the local supply chain, serving vessels that call at the nation's primary commercial hubs, including Chittagong, Mongla, and the emerging Payra seaport. The firm operates primarily as a ship chandler and marine contractor, offering a logistical bridge between local markets and international fleets requiring immediate support during port stays or anchorage. The company’s operations are divided into several core competencies designed to address the diverse needs of visiting merchant vessels. A significant portion of its business involves the procurement and delivery of essential provisions. This includes fresh, frozen, and dry food supplies, as well as bonded stores, ensuring crew welfare is maintained for onward voyages. Beyond sustenance, the entity manages a robust technical supply chain, providing deck and engine stores, mooring ropes, marine hardware, and safety equipment aligned with standard international maritime codes. Distinct from simple supply logistics, Anchor Marine & Shipping Trade Co maintains a strong focus on technical maintenance and vessel repair. Leveraging experience that traces back to earlier marine workshop initiatives in the private sector, the firm executes a variety of repair tasks. These range from hull and deck plating renewal to complex engine overhauls and crane repairs. The company also offers fabrication services, capable of manufacturing specific components such as hatch covers or pipe systems upon request. To support environmental compliance and port hygiene, the organization provides waste management solutions, including the reception and disposal of sludge, waste oil, and oily residues. Additional operational support includes hull cleaning and underwater services, which are critical for maintaining vessel efficiency. By consolidating these varied services—from fresh water delivery to security watchmen and heavy repairs—Anchor Marine & Shipping Trade Co acts as a single-source facilitator for shipowners and masters navigating the logistical complexities of the Bay of Bengal’s maritime environment.
