NYK Shipmanagement opens its operations in Bangladesh
NYK SHIPMANAGEMENT PTE LTD, SINGAPORE (NYKSM) is the first ever shipping company to open its recruiting office to employ Bangladeshi seafarers directly. This is a unique opportunity for Bangladeshi seafarers to be employed by the owners directly from Bangladesh.. NYKSM, Singapore, is the ship management wing of NYK Line, Tokyo, one of the leading shipping company in the world with over 740 ocean going vessels under its operations. By 2010 the fleet will have 900 ships.
NYKSM, Singapore currently manages 160 vessels. The fleet is comprised of Containers, PCCs, VLCCs, Product tankers, LPGs, LNGs and Bulk carriers. The company plans to employ substantial number of seafarers (all ranks) from Bangladesh in coming years to man its ever expanding fleet.
With the introduction of NYKSM’s own office in Bangladesh, a new dimension of maritime manpower in Bangladesh has begun. So far the Bangladeshi seafarers have been traditionally employed through the third party agents. Now they have the unique opportunity to be directly employed by the ship owners themselves. This will definitely encourage the other ship owners to follow suit in near future.
The company launched its operations on the 5th November 07 through an inaugural ceremony at a local hotel in Dhaka. A two-member delegate from the company’s head office in Singapore visited Bangladesh on the occasion. (pls ref photo of the inaugural ceremony).
Capt. SMA Sufian Mahmood (17th Batch), an employee of NYKSM, has been appointed as the Representative of the Company in Bangladesh to administrate and monitor its smooth operations. NYK Line Bangladesh Limited has been entrusted with the processing job of manning office.
Address of NYKSM, Bangladesh office:

On that day special prayers both in Dhaka & Kishorgong (where he was buried) and feeding the destitute will be arranged. All the relatives, Mariners, friends and well-wishers are being requested to remember him in their prayers. May Allah rest his soul in peace in the “Jannatul Ferdous”.............".
