Grand Maritime Limited is an independent shipping company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) in 2016. In the same year, we established offices in Singapore and Bangladesh. Leveraging our extensive network and strong relationships with shipowners across Asia, we have developed robust trade routes connecting Southeast Asia, China, the Black Sea, and the North Atlantic to Bangladesh.
Our shipments primarily include bulk cement clinker, slags, limestones, gypsum, grains, and steel products into Bangladesh. Since our inception, bulk cement clinker has been our core shipment and continues to be our flagship service. We proudly serve as the exclusive operator for several major cement manufacturing plants in Bangladesh.
As Bangladesh experiences exponential growth and increasingly imports vast amounts of resources, the Port of Chittagong faces challenges in accommodating the rising influx of vessels. With our strong presence at the Chittagong discharge port, we streamline the discharge process, ensuring efficiency and reliability for our shipowners.
At GML Chartering Pte Limited, we are a dynamic, forward-thinking company committed to growth and development. We have established excellent working relationships with leading manufacturers, suppliers, traders, shipowners, and ship brokers in the region, focusing on delivering reliable, safe, and efficient commodities to the Bangladeshi market.
Strengths
Customer Relationships
We understand that strong relationships are the cornerstone of sustainable business. We have forged long-term partnerships with our exclusive partners, successfully maintaining these connections. Expanding our network of partnerships remains a primary goal for the future.
With the continuous evolution of government policies and regulations in Bangladesh, we provide our clients with first-hand information to navigate these changes effectively.
Control of Barges
All our receivers operate a dedicated fleet of barges for discharge operations. This capability enables us to predict and control discharge rates, effectively minimizing delays and uncertainties faced by other owners relying on public barges. By doing so, we address issues such as bottom fouling, low bunker on redelivery, and inaccurate redelivery notices, significantly reducing the potential for disputes.
Strategy
As the leading operator of supramax vessels in Bangladesh, GML Chartering Pte Limited excels in discharge performance at Chittagong compared to the market. Moving forward, we will focus more on the operation of Handymax vessels, utilizing our extensive network and port knowledge in Chittagong to strengthen our position as the premier supramax operator in the region.
