The family of Hadisur Rahman, the naval engineer who was killed after a projectile hit the ship in Ukraine amid Russia's invasion, will get $500,000 in compensation.
The Board of Directors of Bangladesh Shipping Corporation learned about the development in a meeting on Wednesday, the shipping ministry said in a statement.
It did not mention how and when the funds will be transferred.
The ministry said the corporation gave a brother of Hadisur a job. He will join the corporation on Jun 1. The other crew members of the ship will be given seven months' salary.
Hadisur was one of the 29 crew members on board the Banglar Samriddhi when it got caught in the conflict in Ukraine. The ship, owned by the state-run Bangladesh Shipping Corporation, was struck by a missile on Feb 24, killing Hadisur.
