Interport Group organised the P&I Marine Surveyors Workshop 2026 in Chattogram on 8 November. The event marked the group’s 25th anniversary and featured the launch of new Surveyor Guidelines.
The workshop was held at Karnafuli Hall, Best Western SKS Chittagong. It was supported by the International Institute of Marine Surveying (IIMS) and the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN), said a press release on Thursday.
The event brought together marine surveyors, maritime professionals and claims handlers. Under the theme “Strengthening Survey Quality and Professional Integrity,” discussions focused on the role of surveyors in Protection and Indemnity (P&I) claims. Topics included professional competence, independence, duty of care and impartial reporting.
Tanjil Ahmed Ruhullah FCILT, Managing Director and Head of Claims of Interport Group, delivered the keynote address. He said, “Marine surveyors are where a claim meets reality. When the first classification surveyors were appointed in 1834, they were chosen as men of talent, integrity and firmness. The ships have changed beyond recognition; the measure of the profession has not.”
Interport Group was founded in 2001. It is a Bangladesh-based P&I correspondent, ship agency and marine services provider. It is the first full member of the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network in Bangladesh.
