A mobile court led by the Department of Shipping conducted an inspection on sand-carrying vessels operating between Dhaka’s Sadarghat and Fatullah in Narayanganj. During the operation, nine vessels were fined a total of 170,000 taka for various irregularities. The inspection took place on Saturday under the supervision of Commodore Md Shafiul Bari, Director General of the Department of Shipping, and Executive Magistrate Lusikant Hajong. The team examined 11 vessels in total.
Officials found that most vessels’ actual measurements did not match their registration documents. Several vessels also lacked mandatory life-saving equipment and navigational tools, posing safety risks. The Director General stated that monitoring and legal actions against unregistered or modified vessels without safety gear would continue to ensure navigational safety. He urged vessel owners and operators to comply with all maritime regulations.
The Department of Shipping confirmed that similar inspection and mobile court activities will be carried out regularly to protect passengers and waterway users. Senior officials, including the Chief Engineer and Ship Surveyor Mirza Saifur Rahman, were present during the operation.
