A Voice for the Ocean, A Credit to Our Mariner
The BD Mariners community proudly celebrates one of our distinguished members, Dr. Capt. Prodip Kumar Roy, for his remarkable international recognition as the “Best Maritime Environmental Scientist 2025” and recipient of the “International Royal Golden Fellow Award.”
This milestone reflects not just a title but a lifelong dedication to protecting the ocean — the very heart of our profession. Through his groundbreaking research, captured in the e-book “Maritime Environmental Management,” Dr. Roy addresses the root causes of ship-sourced oil pollution and proposes an integrated management system that aims to:
★ Protect our coasts and communities — preserving the waters that define our nation.
★ Support our seafarers — simplifying environmental compliance onboard and promoting safer, more efficient operations.
By connecting science with the human element, Dr. Roy’s work redefines environmental leadership in maritime operations. His vision and research offer a sustainable blueprint for the future — one that balances marine ecology with the realities of life at sea.
On behalf of the global BD Mariners network, we extend heartfelt congratulations and appreciation. Your achievement brings immense pride to every Bangladeshi mariner and stands as a beacon of inspiration across fleets worldwide.
