UK-based freight forwarding firm Allseas Global Logistics recently proposed to operate three vessels to directly connect Bangladesh’s Chattogram port with Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Liverpool in the United Kingdom. It has already chartered three relatively bigger vessels having capacities of over 1,500 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs).
The company chartered the three vessels—MV AMO, MV San Alfanso and MV BBC Finland—having capacities of 1,700 TEUs, 1,800 TEUs and 1,500 TEUs respectively.
Phoenix Shipping Limited, the local agent of Allseas Global Logistics, has already submitted its application to the Chattogram Port Authority (CPA) seeking permission for the three vessels to operate direct Chattogram-North Europe services.
CPA chairman Rear Admiral M Shahjahan told a Bangladesh daily that he had already ‘approved’ the application, but it would take a few days to complete official procedures.
