Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation

BIWTC, Bengali: বাংলাদেশ অভ্যন্তরীণ নৌ-পরিবহন কর্পোরেশন),[1] is a government-owned company that owns and operates inland vessels and ports in Bangladesh, headquartered in Dhaka.

[6] The steamers served destinations such as Chandpur, Barisal, Khulna, Morrelganj, and Kolkata, from Dhaka.

This was a reduction from daily trips,[6] and commercial services were eventually stopped altogether due to safety concerns, operational losses, and a lack of passengers, especially following the inauguration of the Padma Bridge.

[13] The company commissioned the modern MV Madhumoti (2015) and the MV Bangali (2014) passenger ferries for the first time in six decades, each 76 metres (249 ft) long and capable of carrying 750 passengers, from Western Marine Shipyard.

[14] BIWTC runs roll-on/roll-off ferry services for vehicles on seven routes, bridging destinations inaccessible directly by road:[15]
