Freight Forwarding & Container Logistics
Sea and air freight, NVOCC services and the documentation and inland legs that go with them, for cargo moving to and from Bangladesh.
Our container division
Multimove set up its container division in 1995, an early step towards offering shipping and logistics from one company. The company has been registered as a freight forwarder and C&F agent since 2000. Today the division acts as an NVOCC agent and an international sea and air freight forwarder, working from Chattogram, the country's main seaport, and Dhaka, its capital and main commercial centre.
Containerised trade through Bangladesh has grown a great deal over this period, but conventional and breakbulk shipping remain important. Because we handle both, we can plan a shipment around the cargo rather than around a single mode.
