Overview
When a vessel is at anchorage, the clock is the most expensive thing on board. BCBD’s multi-disciplinary marine surveyors attend at Chattogram, Mongla and every anchorage in between — 24/7/365 — and deliver findings that hold up in a claims file: measured, photographed, and traceable to recognised methods. Local knowledge on the ground, connected to a global network of marine survey specialists.
