Three decades on the Chattogram waterfront
Multimove acts as local agent for shipowners, operators and charterers, and runs a freight-forwarding and logistics division for importers, exporters and overseas forwarders.
The company is headquartered on Strand Road in Chattogram, close to the country's main seaport. Following the enduring legacy of our founder, the Board of Directors has proudly appointed Dr. Sajida Anowara as the new Chairman, steering the company into a dynamic modern era of international trade, strategic commercial imports, and maritime logistics.
That background shapes how we work: close supervision of every call, clear reporting to principals, and owners' and charterers' interests handled by separate teams.
One local team for the vessel, the cargo and the paperwork in between
Six business lines, run from one office and one set of relationships with the port, customs, terminals and service providers.
