Ananda Shipyards and Slipways is a Bangladeshi shipbuilding company, founded in 1983.
[2] As of November 2008 the company had received orders worth $373 million from European and African buyers for building 34 vessels.
[3] In 2022, the shipyard exported the largest domestically produced vessel ever exported from Bangladesh, a 6,100 deadweight tonnage (dwt) oceangoing container vessel sold to a UK buyer, Enzian Shipping Company Ltd.[4] After winning a large number of bids in the late 2000s,[5] the company succumbed to the global recession and failed to deliver orders on-time to many customers.
Indemnified losses exceeded $58m, and led to questions being raised by regulators about the banks that issued bonds and loans to the company.
[6][7] The shipyard has been accused of illegally occupying shore areas along the Meghna River.
