Honorable Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina is going to visit Khulna Shipyard Limited ( KSL) the ship-building and repairing company owned by Bangladesh Government and run by Bangladesh Navy on 6th September 2015, said the sources of Prime Minister office .
The KSL has created a benchmark to elevate the image of Bangladesh to the global level which is a ship construction and repair yard at the Khulna that used to construct Padma-class offshore patrol vessels for the Bangladesh Navy. Khulna Shipyard’s success story is phenomenal since this 57-yrar-old institution had been on a steady downslide and was declared a sick industry. On October 3, 1999 the Shipyard with a 993.7 million Tk debt was handed over to Bangladesh Navy and in a sequence of drives by 2008, all debt had been cleared and since then has been making profit and has done a complete upturn, manufacturing warships and now modern container vessels.
