Could be.
Could be moving cheap non-food goods back and forth as well. The last shipment on the Banglar Samriddhi was steel coils delivered to Ergeli in Turkey. It was en-route to Olvia to pick up clay for manufacturing ceramics. No food.
Latest Ports of Call indicate no food transport to Bangladesh.
-Kandla, India
Very interesting. I thought since Bangladesh's huge population till recently had to import food, and Ukraine is a big Wheat exporter, it lined up. Thanks for digging up all this cool info !

It's a reasonable theory.
Usually both planes and ships have trackers on board that you can follow on the internet. I just "Banglar Samriddhi tracker" on a search engine.

Ships are flagged where it's cheap to run a ship, not necessarily ships affiliated with that nation.

I thought so at first. But I speak a language close to Bengalese, the Ship has a Bangladeshi name. "Banglar Samriddhi" Translated: "Prosperity of the Bengalese people". Weird choice for a Flag of convenience, if the ship had nothing to do with Bangladesh.

I think I agree with you.

Many ships use random countries like Sierra Leone or Marshall Islands. It"s a tax and low paperwork thing.
