BGMEA wants more shipping liners, off-docks for timely export
Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has requested global apparel buyers to nominate more shipping liners and off-docks to facilitate timely shipment of export containers.
BGMEA President Faruque Hassan made the call during at a meeting with the representatives of renowned global brand C&A Sourcing International Ltd and leading shipping company Hapag-Lloyd held at BGMEA office in Dhaka on August 12.
The discussion was a part of BGMEA's continuous efforts to ensure smooth shipment of export and import goods, the association said in a statement.
Hassan also said export containers loaded with RMG products had to face additional delay at Chattogram port due to nomination of selective shipping lines and off-docks by buyers.
He also said buyers should make optimum use of the capacity of available shipping lines to handle garment export, which would increase in the coming months.
Earlier, BGMEA in a letter requested global apparel buyers through Buyers' Forum, a group of the representatives of major apparel buyers, to nominate as many forwarders as possible to deliver the shipment on time, the BGMEA statement also said.
