Fascinating, but I'm a little unclear.
This is run by the Ministry of Shipping and you speak of employment on merchant vessels (both national and foreign-flagged, as you said), but the uniforms and training process seem military in nature.
Is this something like a Coast Guard, or is this more like Bangladesh's equivalent of the "U.S. Merchant Marine?"
Or, is it something different altogether?
