Maritime Services Ltd

BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mrs. Zubeida Munawwar Chairperson ? Mr. Muammar Ahmad Managing Director The history of Maritime Services Ltd , traces to 1985 when founder Chairman & Managing Director of the company then a very senior mechanical engineer by profession felt the necessity of dynamic services in the Maritime Industry especially in the light of containerization of traffic, logistic services and multimodal concept of shipping. Backed by associate companies in manufacturing, container shipping and trading, Maritime Services Ltd., was formed for exclusive container operation with Chittagong as head office and Dhaka the main marketing office. The very first container moved into Bangladesh at the end of 1977 and that led to firm footing of freight forwarding in 1984. We are one of the pioneers in the field having started our activities in 1985. Since then, we never looked back and marched with time adapting ourselves with industry demands. At the turn of the century, the millennium as well, Internet technology is revolutionizing the way forwarding and distribution industry is organized. The benefits – better communication, improved tracking, shared information to improve freight efficiency- are already starting to emerge. the proliferation of the internet usage has made it easier and cheaper to co-ordinate activities between business partners. Maritime Services Ltd, as a company, has responded to the change and has become a part of this revolution. We have therefore a significant advantage to specialize in our core capabilities and outsource our non-core business to third party service providers. There is a trend in outsourcing of the logistics function to third – party logistics service providers. Outsourcing partnerships are being offered to logistics service providers with specialized fulfillment expertise at affordable prices. We are with the trend and building a close – knit business fellowship / friendship with clients & partners. ‘Mitsui-Soko (Singapore) Pte Ltd.’ a global 3rd party logistics provider is represented by MSL’s sister concern for the last 16 years The following subsidiary companies and of all these Mr. Muammar Ahmad is the Managing Director.
