How can we help?
Shodesh Shipping & Logistic Company operates reliable barge and lighterage services that facilitate efficient cargo movement through Bangladesh's extensive inland waterway network. Our fleet of barges and lighters provides a cost-effective and practical solution for transporting goods between mother vessels, seaports, and inland river terminals across the country.
Inland waterway transport plays a vital role in Bangladesh's logistics infrastructure, offering access to regions where road transport may be limited or economically inefficient. Our barge services are particularly valuable for bulk cargo, project materials, and large consignments that benefit from the capacity and economics of waterborne transport.
We manage every aspect of barge and lighterage operations, including cargo transfer from vessel to lighter, inland waterway transit, and delivery to riverside locations. Our experienced team ensures that each operation is conducted safely, on schedule, and in compliance with maritime and inland waterway regulations.

Our Expertise
We coordinate the transfer of cargo from mother vessels to lighter crafts at anchorage or within port limits, enabling cargo discharge even when vessels cannot berth directly at the terminal. Our teams manage all coordination with the shipping agent, vessel crew, and port authorities to ensure smooth and timely transfer operations.
Our barges and lighters operate across major inland waterways in Bangladesh, connecting seaports with river terminals and industrial locations. We manage scheduling, cargo monitoring, and crew operations to ensure safe and punctual delivery across all inland waterway routes we serve.
At origin and destination river terminals, we provide professional cargo handling including crane-assisted loading and unloading, cargo lashing and securing, and documentation processing. Our riverside operations are conducted with full regard for waterway safety regulations and environmental standards.
