Bangladesh is known for having a competitive edge when it comes to making ships because skilled workers are easy to find and don't cost as much as they do in China and South Korea. This lowers the cost of making ships in Bangladesh as a whole. But the exact cost can change a lot based on a number of important factors.

Size and type of vessel are the most important things that affect the price. Bangladesh's strongest suit is building smaller ships, like boats and multipurpose vessels (MPVs), that can hold up to 12,000 deadweight tons. The building of these ships depends more on people, and Bangladesh's skilled workers mean big savings on costs.

The cost is also affected by how complicated the plan is, what materials are used, and how efficient the shipyard is. Bangladesh has reasonable labor costs, but it might need to import some specific materials, which would raise the total cost. Different shipyards may also have different levels of automation and speed, which can change the total amount of time and labor needed, which in turn changes the price.

Even with these changes, Bangladesh's shipbuilding industry is still appealing thanks to the country's supportive government. For example, the government has lowered import taxes on raw materials and provided export benefits for finished ships. Bangladesh is a strong contender in the market for making small and medium-sized ships because of this and its skilled workers.
