Digitalizing Bangladesh's
Inland Waterways
NoboGhat is a digital cargo-sharing marketplace connecting farmers, wholesale traders, and vessel operators across the river networks of Bangladesh — making inland freight transport affordable, transparent, and reliable.
Our Purpose
Mission & Vision
Everything we build is guided by a simple belief: technology should remove logistical barriers, not create them for everyday producers.
Our Mission
To eliminate transport barriers for rural and riverine communities through accessible, fairly priced, and transparent digital logistics infrastructure.
Our Vision
To become Bangladesh's trusted digital standard for inland waterway logistics, shared cargo booking, and maritime trade intelligence.
The Challenge
The Problem We Solve
Moving cargo on Bangladesh's waterways has long been fragmented, opaque, and expensive. Here is what NoboGhat is transforming.
Fragmented Communication
Cargo owners and boat captains traditionally rely on phone calls and word-of-mouth. There has never been a central system to compare departure times, verify seaworthiness, or confirm rates.
Exploitative Middlemen
Informal brokers and syndicates control ghat berths and freight rates, squeezing profits from smallholder farmers while leaving vessel captains with unpredictable, depressed margins.
Underutilized Vessels
Thousands of trawlers sail with empty or half-filled holds because capacity is invisible. Intelligent shared cargo matching means fuller vessels and drastically lower per-kilogram freight costs.
Our Community
Who We Serve
NoboGhat is purpose-built for the hardworking producers and maritime operators who feed and power Bangladesh.
Farmers
Ship seasonal harvests (paddy, jute, potatoes, fruits) by paying only for the exact kilograms required, avoiding the heavy financial burden of chartering a whole boat.
Small Traders
Dispatch commercial supplies between district river ports with predictable departure schedules, real-time vessel tracking, and transparent statutory BIWTA tariffs.
Boat Owners
Maximize hold utilization, eliminate empty return runs, and receive secured digital escrow payments straight to their mobile financial accounts.
