Bedste tid at besøge
On weekdays in the morning from 9 to 11 AM when activity is at its peak and you can see all stages of ship construction. Avoid afternoons in summer when the heat becomes unbearable in the steel halls.
Budgettips
Entry is free upon announcing yourself to the doorman, but it is recommended to leave a tip for the workers who show you the workshops (50-100 takas). Protective helmets are mandatory and are loaned out at the entrance free of charge.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Det tidligere skibsværft fra den britiske kolonitid er i dag et af de ældste aktive skibsværfter i regionen. På et område på over 60 hektar bygger og reparerer håndværkere over 20 skibe om året, fra små fiskerbåde til store lastskibe.
Højdepunkter: Forestil dig hamrenes klirren, der ekkoer i de gamle stålhaller, mens metalspåner knirker under dine fødder. Det er soundtracket, der ikke har ændret sig siden 1957. I det hemmelige værksted nummer 7 arbejder der stadig håndværkere, der bruger teknikker til at nitte skibsplader, som er uddøde i de fleste verdenshavne.
Insidertips
- Bring sturdy closed-toe shoes, as the floor is full of metal shavings and oil.
- You get the best photos from the platform next to dock number 3, especially when the afternoon sun breaks through the grates of the hangars.
- Ask an older-generation craftsman to show you hand riveting, as it is a skill that few people still possess.
- Avoid Friday because half of the workers are at prayer then and activity is reduced.
