Nou Kollan Shipping Lines Limited (NKSLL) today announced an expansion of its feeder services connecting Chattogram with major regional hubs in Asia and the Middle East. The upgraded service pattern brings additional sailings per week, giving customers more flexibility when planning export and import cargo.

The enhanced network will initially focus on strengthening connectivity to Singapore, Port Klang and Jebel Ali, with options for extended coverage through partner mainline operators. The move supports Bangladesh’s growing trade volumes and gives shippers improved transit time consistency during peak seasons.

Key Highlights

• Increased weekly frequency from Chattogram on selected corridors
• Better alignment with mother vessel schedules at transshipment hubs
• Improved space planning and advance confirmation for key customers

“Our goal is to provide a disciplined, dependable feeder product that our partners and customers can plan around,” said the NKSLL management team. “By closely coordinating with terminals and mainline carriers, we aim to reduce unnecessary dwell time and keep cargo flowing as promised.”

For more details on updated port rotations, cut-off times and booking windows, customers are encouraged to contact their local NKSLL representative or visit the official website.

Nou Kollan Shipping Lines Limited (NKSLL) has announced a temporary adjustment to its coastal vessel schedules as part of planned maintenance activities at selected jetties and berths. The changes will impact transit times on the Mongla–Payra–river port rotation for a period of several weeks.

During this window, NKSLL will operate with slightly modified arrival and departure windows to ensure safe berthing while local infrastructure works are completed. The company has been working closely with port authorities to minimise disruption and preserve overall service reliability.

Customer Guidance

• Please check updated vessel ETAs and ETDs shared via customer advisories
• Export cargo cut-off times may be adjusted by a few hours on selected sailings
• NKSLL customer service teams are available to support booking replans if needed

NKSLL appreciates the understanding and cooperation of shippers, forwarders and partners during this short-term adjustment and remains committed to transparent, real-time communication on any operational changes.

Nou Kollan Shipping Lines Limited (NKSLL) has officially launched its Green Port Initiative, a collaborative programme designed to reduce the environmental footprint of day-to-day port and vessel activities across its operating network.

The initiative brings together terminal operators, port authorities and community stakeholders to focus on practical actions such as improved waste segregation, responsible disposal of dunnage and packaging materials, and awareness on reducing emissions during port stays.

Key Components of the Initiative

• Onboard and port-side awareness sessions for crew and stevedores
• Introduction of simple checklists for cleaner operations at berths and yards
• Pilot projects to track and report basic environmental indicators

“Our ambition is to make sustainable practices part of the routine conversation at the quay and in the yard, not just in policy documents,” said the NKSLL team. “We will expand the programme progressively based on what works best in each port.”

Nou Kollan Shipping Lines Limited (NKSLL) has rolled out a refreshed set of operational safety standards across its port and terminal partnerships. The standards build on existing safety protocols and provide more clarity for supervisors, equipment operators and stevedoring teams.

The framework emphasises hazard identification, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), safe cargo handling practices and timely reporting of near-miss incidents. NKSLL is working with terminal partners to embed these expectations into daily pre-shift briefings and toolbox talks.

Areas of Focus

• Improved visibility of safety signage and zone markings
• Structured pre-operation checks for cranes, forklifts and trailers
• Clear communication channels between vessel officers and shore teams

“Safety has to be simple, visible and consistent,” noted the NKSLL HSE lead. “These standards are designed to make it easier for frontline teams to do the right thing, every time, without adding unnecessary complexity.”
