FMC Dockyard Limited is a Bangladeshi shipbuilding and ship-repair company based in Chittagong, on the eastern bank of the Karnaphuli River. Established in 2009, the company operates as a major industrial enterprise within the FMC Group and is described in reference material as the group's mother company. Its principal activities are the construction, maintenance, repair, and technical support of marine vessels. The yard occupies more than 45 acres and is equipped for a broad range of vessel-related work. Its reported shipbuilding capability extends to vessels of up to 15,000 deadweight tonnes, while its ship-repair capability extends to vessels of up to 30,000 deadweight tonnes. The company serves a diverse vessel portfolio rather than concentrating on a single marine segment. Reported construction categories include ocean-going multipurpose cargo vessels, passenger vessels and boats, oil tankers, pontoons, barges, fishing trawlers, dredgers, tugboats, container vessels, and ferries. FMC Dockyard's repair and maintenance activities are intended to support the continued operation and efficiency of vessels. In addition to physical repair work, the company provides technical assistance and support for the preparation and administration of maintenance programs. This positions the business as an integrated marine-services provider rather than solely a fabrication yard. Its industrial infrastructure includes an in-house oxygen plant, bonded warehouse, heavy-lifting equipment, gantry crane, mobile hydraulic crane, barge-mounted crane, bending shop, blasting shop, CNC shop, mechanical and carpentry workshops, fabrication yards and sheds, painting shop, slipway, dormitory, and healthcare facilities. These resources support steelwork, fabrication, finishing, lifting, logistics, and vessel maintenance activities within the yard. The company is reported to employ more than 1,500 people, including skilled and semi-skilled workers, and to have a workforce of more than 500 marine professionals and technical specialists. The professional workforce includes marine experts, mechanical and electrical engineers, naval architects, and specialists in related disciplines. Reference material states that the yard has built more than 60 vessels across its different vessel categories. FMC Dockyard presents its business strategy as “Diversity for growth and innovation,” reflecting its coverage of multiple vessel types and its combination of newbuilding, repair, maintenance, and technical-support capabilities. Its Chittagong location places it within Bangladesh's principal maritime and port-industrial region. The company is domestically focused in the available reference material; specific overseas contracts, export markets, financial results, and ownership percentages are not documented here.
