SAMI SHIPPING & ADVANCE DREDGING CO.

Welcome To S.S & Advance Dredging  Co.  

S.S & Advance Dredging  Co. incorporated in 2012. As a private limited company. The objective of the company is primarily to help the nation to retrieve its old heritage of river transportation and thrive the economy as a whole by making all major rivers of the land navigable round the year.

 

Bangladesh is a riverside country. Originating from the Himalayas, these rivers cross hundreds and thousands of kilometers before entering Bangladesh carrying with it an estimated 3 billion tons of suspended materials settling in the riverbeds in Bangladesh causing serious situation.

​

The riverbed rise causes flood, bank erosion and drying of riverbed on recession of water causing loss of navigability, agricultural productivity, fishery resources etc. And it also damage the environmental balance in country. Dredging of rivers, canals, khals and other water bodies is the only means of overcoming the situation and should be the most urgent necessity of the country. On the contrary, dredging has remained the most neglected sector of the country.

Bangladesh is a delta with total area of nearly 144 thousand square kilometers. It has eight major and more than 30 branch rivers with nearly 3500 kilometers of inland and costal waterways. He government plans to dredge the rivers in an effort to reduce potential flooding that inevitably follows regularly occurring natural disasters and to make the rivers more navigable. As the largest industrial conglomerate in Bangladesh, S.S & Advance Dredging  Com decided to invest in the dredging project.

The actual extent of dredging has been small, that too was focused on dredging of the major rivers using large sized imported dredgers. In our view, dredging of small rivers, canals, water bodies and canals are more extensively required which requires a very large number of small dredgers. No one looked into the importance and any feasible solution. Oms dredge ltd   . Took the initiative and came out with a small locally built cutter suction dredgers capable of being move to each and every corners of the country.

The equipment was made from 100% locally fabricated components and thus can be repaired and maintained everywhere.
