Message form the Chairman

The world we live in is changing rapidly and so are the challenges of shipbuilding. After 500 years once again, Bangladesh has entered into international shipbuilding by signing contract for building Ice Class Ocean going vessels for European buyers.


Our journey began as a small shipbuilding company in 2000 and we started building ships three years later.

Message from Managing Director

Business is about economics. A lot of good comes out of it. The importance of competition, market economy and individual responsibility will remain with us for as long as we live. But what is important is to see common solutions to common problems. We must therefore invest more in our people in their jobs and I their future; and that is exactly what Western Marine Shipyard Ltd. has been doing for the last 10 years.
