Nope, you are talking of something else. It took a lot of convincing for our Western Marine S/Y to accept an order from Indians - avoided by most for the fuss they create. We are already overbooked by W European owners and our Navy.

In the industry there are two types of shipbuilders - good builders and Indian builders. Indians are v difficult and tricky people to deal with. Always wanting to cheat you. And they are highly dishonest. I myself am a victim.

The reason is not yet officially clear. However Indian Govt. officials and Embassy officials had already visited Western Marine Shipyard (and maybe other yards) this past winter. The Indian Navy Chief also visited our yards (for sure KSY) about a month ago. The Jindal order could be part of a marine transport contract for the Indian Govt. or maybe even for Navy logistics vessels.

My best hunches are,

• Indian yards are chock-a-block busy with Navy builds at the moment and have no free capacity at all.
• Bangladesh is convenient (close by) and economical.
• Quality pursued in Bangladeshi yards are up-to-the-mark

In any case this is a boon for our yards. Dollars and greenbacks are always welcome. As long as our people have jobs we're happy.

True Indian business people do have a bad rap in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh has not graduated to massive scale commercial cheatery like they sometimes do in India which is sometimes a necessity to survive. We don't have a lot of background in that sort of thing. Other than the stock market manipulators and the loan defaulters.

But blanket generalization is not right. You just have to be careful. Trust but verify.

I'm sure there are honest business-people in India. The educated middle class Indians (of whatever religion) I have dealt with in business have everything in common with honest Bangladeshi middle class people. So one can't really generalize.

The closer your wayward cousin is - the more fights you have with them...that is the nature of our relationship with Indians.

Well its getting clearer now. These probably will be Inland container vessels transporting containers from Indian ports directly to Dhaka Pangaon Inland container port. Then trans-shipped to Agartala and the NorthWest Indian cities by semi-truck.

The design is already finalized - Western Marine is building a batch of about twenty for local shipping lines.

A 3D CAD model of the 176 TEU inland container ship in the F.V. Alliance class (whose under-build image also appears below), These ships will trans-ship containers all the way to the Dhaka Pangaon Container terminal (commissioned 2013). This means reduced container loads on the DAC-CTG highway. There are quite a few of these being built.

MAIN PARTICULARS:

Length Overall: 82.00 M
Breadth: 15.00 M
Depth: 7.00 M
Draft: 4.00 M
Capacity: 176 TEUS Containers
Owner: Neepa Paribahan Ltd.
Builder: Western Marine Shipyard Ltd.
Class: Germanischer Lloyd (GL), Germany.
Route: Chittagong Port to Pangaon Inland Container Terminal






The scene above may become all too common in Western Marine in CTG (nighttime welding activity). I heard they are working around three shifts non-stop.
