Leading
classification society Indian Register of Shipping (IRClass), has signed a
Recognised Organisation (RO) agreement with the Department of Shipping in
Bangladesh.
The
RO agreement was signed at a ceremony held in Dhaka by Director General of
Shipping Commodore Syed Ariful Islam and Mr. Vijay Arora, Joint Managing
Director of IRClass.
The
event was graced by the presence of Bangladesh Shipping Secretary Mr. Ashoke
Madhab Roy as the Chief Guest and Indian Deputy High Commissioner to Bangladesh
Dr Adarsh Swaika as the Special Guest.
The
Government of India and Bangladesh countries have already signed a Coastal
Shipping Agreement to increase bilateral trade through the coastal areas and
this authorisation as RO further paves the way for enhancing IRClass’
activities in the region. The maritime sector in Bangladesh will benefit from
timely and value added services apart from cost savings.
“High quality of service at competitive
prices will now be available to the Bangladesh maritime sector. IRClass intends
to offer not just Ship Classification related services but also wishes to
extend its services like Industrial inspection as well as Management Systems
Certification. Ship recycling is a key industry in which IRClass can help the
industry to adopt safe ship recycling practices,” said Mr. Arora.
