About Us

As a country with hundreds of rivers running through its veins, it’s no wonder Bangladesh has ship building skills in its blood. Dockyard and Engineering Works ltd. began their humble journey as ‘Narayanganj Dockyard Limited’, as the first ever of the Indian Sub-Continent, on 1926. And after an eventful journey of three different regimes including British Colonial, East Pakistan and finally independent Bangladesh, it has shunned its skills of shipbuilding for more than a century. Now under the expert hands of Bangladesh Navy from 2006, it has seen immense growth and success going forward.Built over 21.78 acers of land area with a riverfront of 900 ft. It is capable to dock vessels up to 1500 ton (light weight) of 88.4m (290ft) length. The production capacity of the yard is 2070 tons steelworks per year. It has 27,220 sq. m. of open area and 3,000 sq. m. enclosed area for shipbuilding. 26% space is kept free for greenery to make it an environment friendly green industry.
