PLX MarineTech Ltd. and MSFCL · Chattogram · Cox's Bazar
Your marine and coastal partner in Bangladesh.
Cable installation, shipping agency, heavy lift, customs, crew handling and local supply, from one group. PLX MarineTech delivers cable and coastal works. MSFCL, our Chattogram shipping and forwarding company, handles vessels, cargo and crews.
Overview
International marine contractors working in Bangladesh need one local partner who knows the ports, the coast, the customs process and the people. That is the role we play.
PLX MarineTech delivered route clearance and the land section of the SEA-ME-WE 6 submarine cable at Cox's Bazar for SubCom in 2025. MSFCL (Mahmuda Shipping & Forwarding), a Kainotomia group company in Chattogram, has more than 15 years of shipping agency, freight forwarding and heavy-lift work on this coast.

Case studies
Two monsoon re-exports. Tight tidal windows. Zero incidents.
3 dredgers, about 5,469 t
Heavy rain, swell and strong tidal currents left a short slack-water period each day. We loaded into the morning slack water, waited about 30 days for the right window, and loaded all three dredgers safely.
2 dredgers, about 10,242 t
Monsoon sea, strong wind and a loading window of about 30 minutes. Continuous tide and weather monitoring, a month of patience, and both dredgers loaded without incident.
SEA-ME-WE 6 Land Cable Installation
The land section was completed on schedule in 2025, with zero interruptions after deployment, connecting SEA-ME-WE 6 to onshore infrastructure at Cox's Bazar.
