AMMS Logistics, one of Bangladesh\\\'s leading integrated logistics companies, has officially entered the ship-owning business by acquiring its first ocean-going cargo vessel. The move marks a significant milestone for both the company and Bangladesh\\\'s maritime industry.
The newly acquired vessel, MV AMMS LOGISTICS 21, is a 10,000 DWT general cargo ship that will sail under the Bangladesh flag and operate primarily in Southeast Asian waters. The vessel is designed to transport a wide range of cargo, including containers, project equipment, and specialized shipments, enhancing the company\\\'s logistics capabilities across the region.
Founded by Mohammed Shafiqul Alam Jewel, AMMS Logistics has established itself as a trusted provider of international freight forwarding, clearing and forwarding, project cargo handling, marine surveys, and container freight station operations. The acquisition represents the company\\\'s transition from a logistics service provider to a full-fledged shipowner.
Industry experts believe the investment aligns with Bangladesh\\\'s broader efforts to expand its national merchant fleet. Recent government incentives, including VAT exemptions on imported ocean-going vessels under specific conditions, aim to encourage private sector participation and strengthen the country\\\'s presence in global shipping.
According to the report, owning its own vessel will allow AMMS Logistics to offer greater schedule reliability, competitive pricing, and more integrated logistics solutions while contributing to the development of Bangladesh\\\'s maritime workforce and international shipping capacity.
The deployment of MV AMMS LOGISTICS 21 is expected to enhance Bangladesh\\\'s visibility in regional trade routes and serve as an example for other private logistics companies considering investments in the country\\\'s maritime sector.
