The endeavour of all members is appreciated for it would arrive to a definite goal. I wish the conference success with my blessings to the organizer. May Allah bless all of us. Professor Dr. S. M. Nazrul Islam 7 MESSAGE FROM THE PRO‐VICE CHANCELLOR Professor Dr. M. Habibur Rahman Pro‐Vice Chancellor Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET) It is indeed a great pleasure to write a few words on the occasion of the International Conference on Marine Technology; MARTEC 2010, organized by the Department of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). BUET has a long tradition of being the leading institution for engineering education and researches in the country and is committed to attain excellence in all of its academic and professional activities as the pioneer institution of engineering education. The Department of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering has an exciting curriculum designed to advance knowledge and pursue intellectual fulfillment concerning marine science, culture and technology, logistics, and mercantile marine. Historically, the area of maritime has been the most global and integrated human activity. However, presently, further integration and innovation are crucial in the maritime activities for successful global supply chain and logistics management. "System" concept is at the heart of all these processes which function as catalysts of economic globalization. Various advanced technologies are applicable in most segments of maritime activities, and therefore, maritime sector might be an excellent platform for developing a global system based on innovation. Many of the world's renewable energy resources are being exploited today to generate electricity and marine energy, the energy contained in various forms in the world's seas and oceans has huge potential in this regard. I believe that this conference is an excellent opportunity to share the knowledge and expertise of the participants on the current and future marine/ maritime related technologies; and, to analyze the possibilities with regards to the creation of "New System(s)" in maritime transportation of the 21st century. I extend my sincere thanks to all the hardworking members of MARTEC 2010 and all the researchers from home and abroad. I hope MARTEC 2010 will come up with pragmatic recommendations and boost research and development initiatives of shipbuilding in Bangladesh. I wish MARTEC 2010 a grand success. Professor Dr. M.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF RINA Trevor Blakeley FRINA, FIMarEST, FIMechE, CEng Chief Executive The Royal Institution of Naval Architects The Royal Institution of Naval Architects was founded in London, in 1860. Today it is an international professional society with members in the universities, industries and maritime organisations of over 90 countries. In 1860, its mission statement was “to promote and facilitate the exchange and discussion of technical and scientific information” and by such “to improve ship design”. 150 years later, that remains the aim of the Institution, and it is also an aim shared by MARTEC 2010. Those attending MARTEC 2010 will be only too aware that the global maritime industry has been experiencing a long period of difficulty arising out of the reduction in demand at a time of financial crisis. Those who have been in the maritime industry for some time will be only too aware of the cyclic nature of the maritime industry’s fortunes, although for those less experienced, it may be a time of personal concern. However, I believe there are signs of the inevitable return to better times. I also believe that key to the recovery and future success of companies and countries will be people – people with the knowledge, understanding and professional skills needed by industry in the future – people who are informed of developments in the maritime industry. MARTEC 2010 has an important part to play in bringing together those from academia and industry who are leading that development, and in providing a platform for exchanging ideas and experiences in research and development. The Royal Institution of Naval Architects is pleased to give its support to MARTEC 2010. I congratulate the organisers on attracting a wide range of papers from experts in their fields, and wish all speakers and delegates a most informative and enjoyable conference. Trevor Blakeley 11

THE HISTORY OF THE MARINE TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE (MARTEC) Daniel Mohammad Rosyid Professor in Operations Research and Optimization Department of Ocean Engineering ITS Surabaya, INDONESIA The Marine Technology Conference, thereafter called MARTEC, was first organised in 1998 at ITS Surabaya. MARTEC was set up as part of the Centre Grant Project funded by the Directorate General of Higher Education (DGHE), Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia. The Centre Grant Project was granted to the Marine Technology Post‐graduate Program – hence the Centre‐, Faculty of Marine Technology, ITS Surabaya. Other components of the Centre Grant Project were sending ITS lecturers to do post‐graduate education abroad, strengthening the research infrastructure of the Centre, and inviting visiting scholars to the Centre. MARTEC was designed to promote networking amongst ASIAN universities and researchers majoring in marine technology. The broad topic covered within MARTEC was ship design and production, offshore engineering, coastal engineering, marine transportation, and marine engineering. The second conference, the MARTEC 2000 was held again at ITS Surabaya, entitled “Marine Technology for Sustainable Development in an Archipelago Environment”, 7‐8 September 2000. It was supported by PT. PAL Indonesia and HATMI (Himpunan Ahli Teknologi Maritim Indonesia‐ Indonesia Association of Maritime Technologist). The participants were researchers from ITS, ITB, UTM, University of Hasanuddin, University of Southampton, and BPPT. The third conference, the MARTEC 2002 was held also at ITS, entitled “The System Operational Success in the Marine Environment”, July 10, 2002. The conference was also supported by UTM. The fourth conference, the MARTEC 2004 was hosted by UTM in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. During this conference, researchers from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) attended as active participants. The steering committee of MARTEC thence agreed to plan a MARTEC in Bangladesh in the next few years. The fifth conference, the MARTEC 2006 was hosted by the University of Hasanudin in Makassar. The sixth conference, the MARTEC 2008 was hosted by the University of Indonesia, in Jakarta. The number of papers presented in MARTEC ranges from as few as 18 papers to 30 papers. So in general, the number of papers in various MARTEC can be presented in a one or two day conference in parallel sessions. As we make ourselves busy for the MARTEC 2010 at BUET, MARTEC should be forged further to nurture network of research in marine and maritime technology in coping with climate change and the 21st century as the Century of ASIA. 23
A BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE & MARINE ENGINEERING, BUET Zobair Ibn Awal Assistant Professor Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, BUET E‐mail: [email protected] Dr. Md. Mashud Karim Professor and Head Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, BUET Email: [email protected] 1. Introduction The Department of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering of BUET is the only department in Bangladesh which delivers both baccalaureate & postgraduate education and research in the field of Ship Building Technology and in various fields of ocean and maritime engineering. Since its birth in 1971, the department is constantly evolving itself from academic arena towards industry oriented and is significantly contributing towards economical development of Bangladesh through promotional and collaborative activities with many local and overseas organizations. Over the years the department is relentlessly producing brightest and most brilliant graduates in the field and also providing expert professional services to many reputed industries all over the world. The program of study in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering covers the diversified range starting from ships hulls to exploration of opportunities for harnessing all kinds of resources from the sea. Such topics as the form, strength, stability, sea keeping qualities, resistance and propulsion of ships, economic aspects of ship design and ship operation and many courses of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering and metallurgical engineering are covered. Other subjects of concerns are fundamental of the physical sciences and mathematics, Humanities and Social sciences. Since the design of modern ship or any marine system of whatever configuration or function encompasses many engineering fields, graduates of this department are called upon to handle diverse professional responsibilities. Just as an example, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering involves the development and design of efficient and environmentally sound ships, vessels and platforms including the development of technology for achieving higher ship speeds with minimal fuel cost and floating platforms with maximum capability in relation to their initial and operational cost. 2. Role in Education The Department of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering is the only department in Bangladesh of its kind which provides education and research on Ship Building Engineering. The department has almost forty years of history of excellence in field of maritime engineering. The syllabus and the courses are prepared by teachers of the department keeping pace with the world demand and similarities with the universities in Asia, Europe and North America. In the current course curriculum, students can choose their field of specialization from any of the two fields i.e. Hydrodynamics & Structure and Design & Production in addition to the fundamentals and basic courses of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering. The Department is enriched with a group of highly qualified teaching staffs who have had their education and training from various renowned institutions of the world. 24
Undergraduate students seeking degree (B.Sc. Engineering in Naval Architecture and Marine) must complete 161.5 credit hours and 204.0 contact hours that are distributed in eight terms in four years. In addition to the undergraduate courses, there are postgraduate programs available in which the students get the opportunity to specialize in certain areas with in depth knowledge. The post‐graduate program started in 1988 and so far the Department has produced over 300 graduates. The Department of Naval Architecture & marine Engineering offers the following Undergraduate and Post Graduate Degrees: 1. Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.Sc.Eng.) 2. Master of Science in Engineering (M.Sc.Eng.) 3. Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) 4. Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) 3. Role in Research Ever since the commencement of the Department of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering, numerous research projects have been conducted by its distinguished faculties. Student from both Undergraduate Level and in Post Graduate Level conduct research on contemporary issues as a part of their academic requirements. Fundamentally the objective of research projects of the department is to solve problems of national interests and global issues as well. Faculties of the department also conduct fundamental research in the field of hydrodynamics, sea keeping, ship motion, ship structure and many other areas of naval architecture. The Department is actively involved with The Journal of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering where two faculties of the department are directly involved; Professor Dr. Md. Mashud Karim is the Editor‐in‐chief and Professor Dr. M. Rafiqul Islam is the Associate Editor of the Journal. The journal is published biannually by the Association of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. 4. Laboratory Facilities The Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering endeavours to provide its students adequate laboratory facilities. Both undergraduate and graduate courses of this department are intensively laboratory oriented. Currently Bangladesh is emerging as a shipbuilding nation in the world economy and the Government of Bangladesh is also considering it as a thrust sector. However, in order to sustain and compete in the world market, Bangladesh must be self‐sufficient in all aspects of ship design and shipbuilding. Therefore, the issue of establishing a towing tank facility is extremely important. The department of NAME is trying its level best to establish a towing tank and procure sophisticated equipment from home and abroad. It is pertinent to mention that, at this moment there is no towing tank facility in Bangladesh. In this connection the Department is working closely with Bangladesh Navy, Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA), Foreign Universities and other International Experts. However, BUET currently offers some of the best laboratory facilities for the NAME students. A brief description of existing laboratories is given below: Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory The facilities of the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory are used to offer courses on Fluid Mechanics Laboratory and Fluid Mechanics Theory, as well as, to run demonstrative experiments to the students. The Fluid Mechanics course is an introduction to the mechanics of incompressible and compressible fluids which covers the principles and more important theories of modern fluid mechanics. The course covers measuring devices and techniques, error analysis in experimental works and analysis of 25

STEPS TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE SHIPBUILDING IN BANGLADESH Dr. M. Rafiqul Islam Professor Dept. of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, BUET Email: [email protected] Dr. Md. Mashud Karim Professor and Head Dept. of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, BUET Email: [email protected] Bangladesh has been blessed with more than 200 rivers with a total length of about 22,155 km as well as a long coast line on the Bay of Bengal. We forgot that Bangladesh had a prosperous and glorious heritage in building ships since ancient times. Now we wonder to know that Bangladesh was the centre of building ocean‐going ships in Asia between the 15th and 17th century. In the early 19th century, the shipyards of Chittagong built many commercial ships of up to 1,000 tons and also British navy vessels that participated in the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. To remain competitive we need
Government led and funded Research and Development program where all advancements are shared with the entire Bangladeshi shipbuilding industries.
Despite her long heritage, Bangladesh has failed to keep pace and consistency with the continuous technological development of global shipbuilding industry. Better late than never, it is a good sign that Bangladesh Government has considered it as a thrust sector and expressed keen interest to promote this sector with a view to including this prestigious item in the list of our exportable goods. Necessary steps are being undertaken by the Government to make this country as the next cost effective destination for global buyers dealing in ships, ship machineries, fittings and marine equipments. The prime objectives of developing a healthy shipbuilding sector are to resolve unemployment problems, boosting foreign currency earnings and to achieve substantial economic growth of Bangladesh thereby contributing significantly in poverty alleviation. 28
There are presently more than 200 shipbuilding and ship‐repair yards in Bangladesh. Due to unique nature, favourable geographical position together with availability of technically knowledgeable and competent personnel, skilled and semi‐skilled workers and long past heritage the ship building industry of Bangladesh has started its journey towards export. It is worth mentioning that two of the shipyards successfully exported a number of ocean going ships to a high end market like Denmark, Germany and Mozambique through international competition. Other shipyards in Bangladesh also trying to get some international order form European countries like Denmark, Germany and Norway for building small to medium size vessels. This trend is expected to continue in Bangladesh for at least next fifteen years or may be for a longer period because of cheap labour cost. The low‐tech oriented ships such as bulk carriers can also be built competitively with low labour costs, which is a big advantage in Bangladesh. The opportunity that is now knocking at the door must not be lost due to lack of priority or understanding of the prospects. The shipbuilding industry needs heavy infrastructural equipment and well trained workers for design and manufacturing. In addition, this industry needs backward and forward linkage industries, steel and electricity businesses, social infrastructure and logistics, and financing support. No nation can be sustained in such a competitive field like shipbuilding without technological enhancements through innovation. It is one of the ways for competing in shipbuilding industry with the giant shipbuilding nations like Japan, Korea, China and Vietnam. There exists Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) as the centre of excellence for engineering education. We are very fortunate that this university is enriched with Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering department where the most meritorious and talented students of this country are studying in this field. The faculty members of this department are also highly qualified and have had their highest education from various renowned universities in the world. But the department has some limitations for Research and Development (R&D) activities in this sector. In order to produce knowledgeable, competent and skilled manpower in shipbuilding, the department needs extra support from the Government for establishment of research facility like Towing Tank, Cavitation Tunnel etc. Although productivity of Bangladeshi work force considered as an important issue in order to compare with international market but in order to establish Bangladesh as a shipbuilding nation, there is no alternative to technological development. Otherwise, it may not be possible to stay in this sector permanently. If Bangladesh government adopt the best proposals which come from shipbuilders, academicians and researchers, it is possible to be successful in creating a viable, internationally competitive shipbuilding industry in the coming years. Since shipbuilding is an industry of continual improvement, to sustain the level of competition that is created initially an organized program of continual Research and Development (R&D) will be required. It will not be sufficient that each shipbuilder is continually striving to improve. To remain competitive we need Government led and funded Research and Development program where all advancements are shared with the entire Bangladeshi shipbuilding industries. Considering all aspects, it is strongly recommended that the present democratic Government should have its strong commitment and support to develop this sector. Various favourable policies like subsidies, R&D and educational investments should also be taken by the Government for sustainable shipbuilding in Bangladesh. 29
BANGLADESH: A SHIPBUILDING TIGER WAKE UP Kh. Akhter Hossain Commander Bangladesh Navy Dr. N. M. Golam Zakaria Associate Professor Department of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering, BUET E‐mail: [email protected] 1.0 Introduction Due to congenial geographical location, the history of shipbuilding in Bangladesh dates back to a long ago. Chittagong port was the best centre of building ocean going vessels in the middle of the 15th century. Even in the 17th century, the entire fleet of ships of the Sultan of Turkey was built at Chittagong. Also in 1805, British Navy built ships at Chittagong for the famous battle of Trafalgar. However, with the passage of time, glory of shipbuilding in this region began to fade. Shipbuilding in Bangladesh revives again when a number of local entrepreneurs brought the name and fame as a country with great potentials in shipbuilding by building and handing over some ocean‐going vessels to overseas buyers from Denmark, Finland and Mozambique. Very recently (on November 26, 2010), Bangladesh has also handed over two ice‐class vessels to a German company. Thus shipbuilding in Bangladesh is marching forward in the way of securing its firm position in the world market and at the same time, country is returning its long past tradition of shipbuilding. Some leading local shipyards like Ananda and Western Marine are now engaged themselves to build over 40 small to medium category vessels worth about $0.6 billion mainly for European buyers. Bangladesh is a maritime nation with 9,000 sq km of territorial waters, 720‐km long coastline and 200000 sq km of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the sea. It lies at the apex of the Bay of Bengal and has 700 rivers and cannels that come down from the surrounding countries and flow through it. 24,000‐
km long inland waterways play a vital role for economical and commercial activities in Bangladesh. At present about 10,000 inland and coastal ships have been plying all over the country, which carry more than 90% of total oil product, 70% of cargo and 35% of passengers. More than 250000 skilled and semi‐
skilled workers are employed in shipbuilding industry. All inland and coastal ships are constructed and repaired locally in these Bangladeshi shipyards. Average growth of the industry is 8%. Bangladesh possesses the second largest ship breaking industry in the world and these breaking industries are generally the main source of materials for shipbuilding yards located all over the country. Most of the shipyards have indigenous method of construction and are little equipped with modern machineries and equipment. About half‐dozen shipyards are currently building international standards ships in the recent time and another dozen of shipyards are expanding their capacity for building ocean going ships to enter international market. It is expected that Bangladesh has the scope to emerge as an export based shipbuilding nation within a decade because of its advantages like cheap labour, presence of huge skilled and semiskilled workers and existence of industry related educational and training institutes. 2.0 STATE OF BANGLADESHI SHIPBUILDING There are more than one hundred shipyards and workshops in Bangladesh, most of them are privately owned shipyards. Out of these shipyards, approximately 70% are located in and around Dhaka and Narayangong along the side of the river bank of Buriganga, Shitalakha and Meghna. About 20% shipyards of Chittagong division are located along the side of the Karnapuli River and 6% are located 30
along the bank of the Poshur river in Khulna division and the remaining 4% are located in Barishal division. Field data shows that most of these yards follow indigenous method of construction and are not equipped with man, machineries and equipment required to build standard ships. These yards are mainly engaged in building and repairing of inland and coastal vessels, up to 3,500 DWT. Recently few of these yards specially Ananda Shipyard and Slipways Limited, Dhaka and Western Marine Shipyards Limited, Chittagong have attained the capability to manufacture ships of 10,000 DWT and they are expanding their facilities to upgrade them up to 50,000 DWT. About 7% shipyards have the capability to entertain quality shipbuilding right now. Another 19% shipyards are doing renovation & expansion program for construction of ships (small & medium category) of international standard. Some new shipyards are also surfacing to build export oriented ship. Bangladesh can build diversified types of vessels for both inland and sea going. Such as: Multipurpose vessel, Fast Patrol Boat, Container vessel, Cargo Vessel, Tanker, Dredging Barge, Ro‐Ro Ferry, Passenger Vessel, Landing Craft, Tourist ship, Tug, Supply Barge, Deck Loading Barge, Pleasure Craft/Yatch, Crane Boat, Speed Boat, Deep Sea Trawler, Self Propelled Barge, Inspection Vessel, Cargo Coaster, Troops Carrying Vessel, Double Decker Passenger Vessel, Hydrographic Survey Boat, Pilot boat, Hospital Ship, Water Taxi, Pontoon, etc. Some shipyards are also capable of manufacturing small warships like large patrol craft, offshore patrol craft, fast attack craft, fleet tanker, even corvette with some expert supervision from international arena. 3.0 SWOT ANALYSIS OF SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY IN BANGLADESH STRENGTH WEAKNESS  Cheap and available workforce  Technological development  Glorious shipbuilding history &  Power and infrastructural facilities favorable weather  Financial sector and R & D  Presence of various ancillary  Productivity and management industries & Technical institutes for  Higher input cost & delivery time supporting this industry  Wide knowledge gap between  Government’s commitment to institutions and industries. develop the sector  Presence of convenient geographical advantages, duty free market, easy importation facility etc. THREAT OPPORTUNITY  Overcapacity  Potential to penetrate the world shipbuilding industry, thus earning  Political unrest huge foreign currencies  Financial climate (more  Development of skilled manpower difficult/costly to get financing) and more employment  Drain out of skilled labor force  Up‐gradation of supporting industries

For sustainable development of this industry immediate steps must be incorporated to upgrade the level of R & D and to promote the technological advancement. Basic infrastructure like towing tank facility, cavitation tunnel, and modern laboratories should be set up as a priority basis for supporting this industry. Low‐productivity persists because of low technology in shipbuilding sector in Bangladesh. Imparting training to the workers, technological enhancement through automation and modern management practice can make a huge improvement in terms of productivity.

PASSENGER LAUNCH ACCIDENTS IN THE WATERWAYS OF BANGLADESH Dr. Md. Shahjada Tarafder Associate Professor Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, BUET E‐mail: [email protected] Dr. Gazi Md. Khalil Professor and Chairman of MARTEC 2010 Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, BUET E‐mail: [email protected] Bangladesh is covered by a network of rivers, all of which eventually flow down to the Bay of Bengal. There are as many as 230 rivers, tributaries and distributaries, which criss‐cross the landscape, covering a total length of about 24,140 kilometers (Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, 2010). The geographical features have made Bangladesh one of the most difficult areas in the world for which to provide a modern surface transport system suitable for guaranteed communication all over the year. The necessity of constructing numerous bridges on the wide rivers which keep on changing their courses inhibits the development of surface transport systems of road and rail. Inland waterways communication, therefore, plays a very important role in the transportation of goods as well as passengers. Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) provides passenger and cargo services in the inland waterways and coastal areas and off‐shore islands of the country and also provides ferry services in the major road gaps. This organization performs its activities with ferry service unit, passenger service unit, cargo service unit and ship repair service unit by operating a total number of 182 vessels (Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, 2010). There are also water transport services run by private companies. According to a report published by Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (2001) there are 4372 registered mechanized vessels and 783 non‐mechanized vessels operating in the inland waterways of Bangladesh. Table 1 presents the navigable waterways in monsoon and dry season. It also gives a brief account of the number of passengers transported as well as the volume of cargo handled by BIWTA during the period from 2000 to 2009. Country‐made boats are the most widely used carrier one can see in the rivers and rivulets. They carry passengers and merchandise on a large scale. Thus the water craft remains the most economic mode of transport for the common people in Bangladesh. But unfortunately, the water transport sector has never got the attention it deserves from the planners, researchers and aid‐givers in Bangladesh. It is a pity that hundreds of people die in accidents in our waterways every year (Khalil, 1985). The present authors conducted a survey on the accidents which occurred in the rivers of Bangladesh during the period from 1981 to 2005. They presented a statistics of 130 riverine accidents which 34
occurred during the aforesaid period. More than 5000 people were reportedly killed in these accidents. The various causes of these accidents were analyzed. The study revealed that the major reasons of riverine accidents were inclement weather, collision, overloading, foundering, bottom rupture, signaling system, fire etc. The accident percentage relative to cause is presented in Table 2. Most of the ferry disasters were found to occur during the months of March, April and May when violent nor’wester lashes the country frequently (Khalil and Tarafder, 2004). Table 1.

Concluding Remarks The numerous launch disasters in the rivers of Bangladesh epitomize the utter neglect that ails the river transport sector. After each capsize an uproar follows. Newspaper reports cry out for drastic measures to rectify the rules and restructure the system of design approval as well as for guarding against plying of unfit launches. However, while the relevant authorities fail to carry out their respective tasks, the meagre budgetary allocation only shows that in the national agenda the water transport sector receives little attention. In a riverine country like Bangladesh, the planners, naval architects, marine engineers, ship surveyors, the meteorologists and the economists must pay proper attention to the hitherto neglected inland water transport sector. It is high time to go for modernization and redesigning of the watercrafts keeping the safety of passengers intact. However, it must be remembered that the problem of passenger ferry disasters cannot be completely solved by simply evolving a technically sound design of the vessel. Safety of passengers can be fully insured only if rules and regulations are correctly implemented and the owners are forced to keep their vessels fit and free from overloading. A national research centre for the development of appropriate technology for inland water transport should be immediately established.

SAILING OF SHIPBUILDING IN BANGLADESH Tariqul Islam Executive Director Ananda Group of Industries www.anandagroup.biz In ancient time, people living on the Bengal Delta learned to craft wooden boat for commuting and transporting goods across different cluster of population settlement. Known as a riverine tract of Indian sub continent, Bengal of that time had abundant rivers, canals and water bodies. No accounts on exactly when and how people of Bengal started crafting wooden ship/boat may be found in retrievable form. However, to supplement the testimony of our people’s skill of wooden ship building, historical record says wooden war ships built in Bangladesh had been used in 17th Country in Turkish Sultanate and for Trafalgar in 1805. Over many centuries wooden ships have evolved in many forms and shapes in Bengal through innumerable trial and error in pursuit of a best match with the regional taste, culture, usage style, and natural suitability like weather, wave pattern & hydrology of concerned water ways. In this very way Bengal nurtured a very rich heritage of craftsmanship in ship/boat building and transferred this artistic skill to subsequent generations. Shipbuilders of that time were probably not working under the umbrella of any statutory company or authorized body, rather were an integral part of the community living mostly on the close‐by stretch of river bank. With the progress of industrialization, emphasis on the mode of prime transportation has started inclining towards Roads and Highways. Traditional shipbuilders possessing this intrinsic art found them redundant whereas requirement of faster movement of goods and people ushered in diesel powered steel ships in the last half a century. At present around three hundred small and medium sized shipbuilders are scattered all over the country, most of which apply indigenous means and knowledge for putting thousands of parts together to make an inland ship. British Empire had set up the first modern shipyard in Bengal in the year 1926 which is known as Dockyard and Engineering Works, Narayanganj. Khulna Shipyard, on the other hand, starting operation in 1954, was the first of its kind with a sideway launching facility of the then Bengal, East Pakistan. Few other private shipyards in a very limited scale had also set their sails around that time. Over the decades these early shipyards went either hibernation or dysfunctional for not being able to cope up with increasing demand of changing technology, management structure and periodic financing. Time, meanwhile, witnessed the birth and rise of a few more shipyards with strong management commitment attached to them. Huge capital requirement, lack of adaptation to the changing technology, lesser degree of clear perception among financing institutions have always played as deterrent factors for development of this industry during post liberation time. Government of Bangladesh, since independence, have been taking up many shipbuilding and marine structures projects for transporting goods, vehicles and people for state owned companies in a bid to establishing greater connectivity across the country. Private yards were immensely benefitted from this Government initiative and gradually but steadily restructured capital base, increased productivity by incorporating modern equipments and attempted even bigger projects than before. 37
One of these shipyards, Ananda Shipyard & Slipways Ltd, starting its operation as Ananda Builders Limited in 1983, has come out as a phenomenal success by attracting export orders first time in the modern history of Bangladesh in 2005. After the first export from Bangladesh by Ananda in 2006, shipping community around the seafaring world took an active interest in Bangladesh with surprise and enthusiasm for cost competitiveness. Inquires from renowned European shipping companies started pouring in and orders were placed on a few other modest yards, though some of those orders didn’t survive the crunching economic downturn. On 25th September 2008, Ananda Shipyard has carved on a new height of achievement by exporting first ever Ice‐class multipurpose cargo vessel from Bangladesh. The whole joyous nation took pride on the accomplishment of a large engineering project for the Europe. Germanischer Lloyds, in the same year, declared Bangladesh as a shipbuilding nation at SMM Hamburg‐2008 (Shipbuilding, Machinery & Marine Technology). Ships made in Bangladesh are now steaming across Atlantic and in other parts of the world. With proper policy support from the Government, legacy of this industry will continue to flourish in Bangladesh.
