Fresh LP Gas, a concern of Meghna Group of Industries (MGI), has added another LPG carrier to its fleet, strengthening its transportation capacity to meet the country’s growing demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

The new LPG carrier, MT Mercantile-65, has a capacity of 2,000 metric tons. With two other carriers of the same capacity, Fresh LP Gas now has three dedicated LPG carriers, with a combined capacity of 6,000 metric tons. This will further strengthen MGI’s transportation capacity and help ensure an uninterrupted supply of LPG across the country. 

MGI Director Tanveer Mostafa said, “Fresh LP Gas remains committed to making sure the domestic market has a safe, efficient, and reliable supply of LPG. We will keep investing in our transportation and logistics to meet the country’s growing LPG demand."

It also makes their supply chain more reliable, and supports the country’s energy security. The new LPG carrier will play a significant role in transporting imported LPG from the Kutubdia Anchorage and Chattogram Outer Anchorage to Fresh LP Gas’s Meghnaghat and Mongla plants.

This will further strengthen the efficiency and reliability of LPG supply across Bangladesh.

Tracing its roots back to 1976, Meghna Group of Industries (MGI) is one of Bangladesh’s leading conglomerates, employing over 65,000 able-bodied men amd women across 57 industrial units. 

MGI operates across diverse sectors, including FMCG, energy, building materials, paper, health and hygiene, among others.

MGI serves millions of consumers in Bangladesh and international markets through trusted brands including Fresh.

Fresh LP Gas Chief Marketing Officer Abu Sayed Raza said, “With the addition of a new LPG carrier, the company is leveraging its fleet to ensure a steady, year-round supply, meet rising demand and extend LPG access to underserved areas, enabling more households to shift from conventional fuels to cleaner energy.”
