Your vessel's local hands at every Bangladesh port.
MARS Shipping Agencies runs shipping agency operations, inward–outward customs clearance, and crew repatriation for owners, operators and P&I clubs calling at Chattogram, Matarbari, Mongla and Payra.
Three services. One point of contact.
Owners deal with a single desk for the whole port call, from pre-arrival paperwork to the crew's flight home.
Shipping Agency Services
Husbanding, port call coordination, cargo operation liaison, and owner representation from arrival notice through sailing.
