Based in Chittagong, Bangladesh, Bengal Wave operates as a comprehensive maritime service provider and logistics partner for the shipping and offshore industries. The company functions primarily as a localized support hub for vessels entering Bangladeshi waters, offering a "one-stop" portfolio of services designed to address the operational, technical, and logistical needs of international fleets calling at major regional ports.
At its core, the company identifies as a ship chandler and marine supplier, engaging in the procurement and delivery of essential provisions, technical stores, and spare parts. Its supply chain capabilities extend to industrial machinery and marine equipment, allowing it to service a wide variety of vessel types, including commercial ships, tankers, and offshore rigs. Beyond simple provisioning, the company manages complex logistical tasks such as clearing and forwarding, ensuring that critical ship spares and equipment move efficiently through local customs and port authorities.
A significant portion of Bengal Wave’s operational focus is dedicated to technical maintenance and underwater services. The company employs professional diving teams equipped to perform underwater hull cleanings, propeller polishing, and salvage operations. It has also integrated modern technology into its inspection regimes, offering in-water CCTV inspections that allow shipowners and operators to assess hull conditions without the need for dry-docking. These underwater surveys are complemented by a broader range of marine surveying capabilities, including pre-loading inspections, draft surveys, and on-hire/off-hire condition assessments, which help stakeholders verify cargo quantities and vessel integrity.
The company also acts as a shipping and protecting agent, representing the interests of shipowners and charterers within the port environment. This agency role encompasses crew changes, port clearance, and general vessel husbandry, facilitating smoother turnarounds for foreign vessels navigating the regulatory landscape of Bangladesh’s maritime sector. Through this diverse array of agency, technical, and supply services, Bengal Wave maintains a continuous operational presence in the Bay of Bengal, supporting the region’s status as a critical node in South Asian maritime trade.
