Our Organizational Structure — Built for Maritime Excellence
Haque & Sons Ltd. operates through a clear, experienced, and well-defined management structure. Every department is led by maritime professionals who bring decades of real industry experience to their roles.
These values have shaped us since 1972 and continue to define how we work.
Our Core Departments
We are not just a manning agency. Haque & Sons Ltd. offers an integrated suite of maritime services, covering everything from recruiting a single officer to managing your entire fleet.
Crew Management Department
At Haque & Sons Ltd., our comprehensive shipping and port agency services are meticulously designed to ensure the seamless, cost-effective turnaround of vessels calling at all major Bangladesh ports. Manned by a dedicated and vastly experienced maritime team, we proactively handle a diverse array of both import and export vessels—ranging from crude, chemical, and vegetable oil tankers to break bulk, container, and grain ships.
Training and Education Department
In today’s dynamic maritime industry, the continuous training and education of seafarers are paramount to maintaining safe, efficient, and compliant vessel operations. As global fleet demands grow, it is essential that sailing staff are thoroughly equipped to meet and exceed the highest international standards of seamanship and engineering. By investing significant time and resources into continuous human capital development, we ensure that every mariner deployed is highly competent in their respective duties.
Shipping Agency Department
Haque & Sons Ltd provides comprehensive ship and port agency services across all major maritime hubs in Bangladesh. Our vastly experienced shipping department expertly manages both import and export operations for a diverse range of vessels. From liner and tramp services to specialized cargo—including wheat, crude oil, chemical products, break bulk, containers, cement clinkers, and steel—we deliver efficient, highly competitive support packages tailored to the dynamic demands of the global shipping market.
Port Agency Department
The agency department at Haque & Sons Ltd expertly manages port calls for a diverse range of import and export vessels across Bangladesh. Backed by over 75 years of maritime excellence since our founding in 1948, our highly experienced shipping professionals seamlessly handle vessels carrying bulk commodities (such as wheat, food grains, cement clinkers, and steel), crude and chemical products, vegetable oils, break bulk, and containers.
Freight Forwarding Department
Since 1972, Haque & Sons Ltd has continuously expanded its global footprint to become a highly competitive and trusted leader in international freight forwarding. Backed by an extensive worldwide agency network—spanning North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa—we seamlessly connect Bangladesh to key global markets.
Vessel Sales and Purchase Department
As a premier shipbroker in Bangladesh, Haque & Sons Ltd expertly facilitates global vessel sale and purchase (S&P) transactions on behalf of our esteemed principals. Capitalizing on the robust demand within the Bangladeshi ship recycling sector, we specialize in brokering second-hand and end-of-life vessels.
Marine Travel and Logistics Department
Navigating the complexities of global maritime crew deployment requires precision, speed, and deep industry expertise. To meet this critical demand, Haque & Sons Ltd established our dedicated, fully IATA-bonded subsidiary, Marine Travel Agency Ltd. (MTAL), in 2007. We leverage cutting-edge global distribution systems—including Galileo and Amadeus—to secure highly competitive, specially negotiated marine rates across hundreds of global airlines and hotels worldwide.
Quality and Compliance Department
At Haque & Sons Ltd, uncompromising quality and strict regulatory compliance form the cornerstone of our global maritime operations. Recognizing the increasingly high demands of the modern shipping industry, we have established a robust Quality Management System, proudly holding the prestigious ISO 9001:2015 certification from DNV GL. We have the distinct honor of being the first shipping agency in Bangladesh to receive this esteemed certification, a testament to our relentless pursuit of operational excellence.
Our Superintendent Team
Our superintendents are one of the most important parts of our operation. They make regular onboard visits to managed vessels to monitor crew performance, check welfare standards, assess vessel conditions, and report directly to our management team.
Every superintendent at Haque & Sons Ltd. is an experienced Master Mariner or Chief Engineer. They are not desk-based inspectors. They are people who have lived and worked at sea and know exactly what to look for when they step onboard.
This direct onboard supervision is one of the key reasons our principals continue to trust us with their fleets year after year.
Our International Office Network
Our organisational reach extends well beyond Bangladesh. We have offices in Japan, Canada, and the United States, allowing us to maintain close relationships with our international principals and respond quickly to their needs.
Each international office is staffed by professionals who understand both the local maritime market and the standards Haque & Sons Ltd. operates to globally.
