Bangladesh has an established shipbuilding sector exporting vessels including fishing boats, cruise and excursion boats, and small ocean-going ships, alongside Bangladesh's better-known shipbreaking industry.

Bay X Bengal lists verified shipbuilding and marine engineering exporters in Bangladesh sourced from the EPB registry, with direct contact details and compliance data where available.

Shipbuilders and marine engineering firms build to order, so there is no standard price list. Contact exporters with your vessel type, size and delivery requirements to get a meaningful quote.
