Managed by Seafarers. Trusted by Ship Owners.
A Bangladesh-based marine manpower supply and crew management company built around real shipboard experience.
A Crewing Partner That Understands Both Sides of the Gangway
Barakah Marine Service Ltd. (BMSL) is a Bangladesh-based maritime manpower supply and crew management company, specializing in the recruitment, selection, deployment and ongoing management of qualified seafarers for foreign-owned vessels worldwide.
Bangladesh has built a strong maritime education pipeline — government-approved academies, marine institutes and STCW-aligned training centres producing English-speaking, internationally certified officers and ratings year after year. BMSL exists to connect that talent pool with ship owners and ship managers who need it, without compromising on verification or fit.
Our recruitment philosophy is simple: quality over quantity. Every seafarer we put forward is evaluated against international maritime standards and the specific operational requirements of the client — because a vessel's safety and performance ultimately rests on the competence of the people on board.
Our Vision
To be recognized globally as a trusted crewing partner — the first call for ship owners who need seafarers who are ready to perform from day one.
Our Mission
To supply reliable, competent and cost-effective marine manpower while upholding the highest standards of safety, professionalism and compliance.
Quality Policy
Every candidate passes document verification, technical interview, English assessment and medical fitness checks before deployment.
Managed by Seafarers
Our leadership has commanded and managed vessels at sea, so we recruit against real operational expectations.
Officers and ratings drawn from Bangladesh's government-approved academies and marine institutes.
Certificates, sea service, machinery familiarity and English checked before a CV ever reaches a client.
Placed aboard bulkers, tankers, container ships and offshore vessels trading worldwide.
