All vessels operated by HR Lines are owned by the Karnaphuli Group. Currently, eight vessels (with a combined capacity of about 11,840 TEUs) have been registered under Bangladesh Flag. Currently, two vessels are deployed on the Bangladesh Express Service (BES), calling Chattogram – Singapore - Port Klang - Chattogram, making it a weekly service. Four vessels are deployed on the Chattogram Colombo Express Service (CCE) calling Chattogram – Colombo twice a week. Our fleet size has grown swiftly yet in line with the demands of Bangladesh's booming trade growth and we plan on this expansion continuing. Our vision is to be a premier container vessel operator in the region, flying the Bangladesh flag.
