By virtue of the powers of the Section 10
of the Bangladesh Flag Vessels (Protection of Interests) Act-2019 (Act
No. 18 of 2019), the government adopted new rules requiring that an
exemption certificate be applied for the transportation of goods by any ship
other than Bangladesh flagged ship and that the grant and revoke of such
certificate be subject to the opinion of the State-owned Shipping Corporation
and the Bangladesh Flag Ship Owner's Association.
If a foreign ship licensed with an
exemption certificate to transport commercial goods of Bangladesh in coastal
areas is engaged in transporting only Bangladeshi goods for a period of three
months or more without goods of any other country, then total manpower of the
said ship shall be at least 50% recruited from among Bangladeshi officers and
sailors.
If a foreign ship licensed with an
exemption certificate for transporting commercial goods of Bangladesh in the
coastal area is engaged in transporting only Bangladeshi goods for one year
or more without the goods of any other country, then all the manpower of the
said ship should be appointed from among Bangladeshi officers and sailors.
Government goods shall only be transported
by State-owned shipping companies.
