BBC TO RECEIVE 8 to 12 NEW MULTIPURPOSE VESSELS

BBC CHARTERING & LOGISTIC GMBH & CO. KG announced today that they will add eight new vessels with an option for four additional vessel to their already extensive fleet. The new vessels will be multipurpose tweendeckers of 12,500 metric tons deadweight and capable of 15 knots fully laden. Each vessel will be completely self-sustaining, having two cranes capable of lifting 120 metric tons each and a combined capacity for a heavylift of 240 metric tons. The vessels are being constructed in China. The first vessel will be delivered in early 2003 with the deliveries continuing through 2004.

 "We are taking these larger vessels in order to enhance our capabilities in the markets we already serve, such as Latin America"   says Svend Andersen, the Managing Director of BBC.  "And the vessels are also ideal for the markets in which we are just beginning to establish a presence, like the Far East. The unique aspect of the vessels is their design, which is definitely client-friendly. "

"The design for the vessels was achieved through a combination of efforts between BBC and Krey Schiffahrts GmbH, a ship-owning company also based in Leer.  You might say that BBC provided the commercial inspiration and we provided the technical input. The result is nothing short of ideal and we are very enthusiastic about this venture,"   commented George Krey, president of Krey Schiffahrts, which has become one of the most successful vessel-owning companies in Germany. Krey Schiffahrts operates a sizable fleet of container and multipurpose vessels, and was the only company locally to take the initiative to build this type and size of vessel.

BBC was established in Bremen, Germany in 1997. In only five years, BBC has become one of the worlds largest breakbulk operators, operating over 80 breakbulk vessels in a worldwide tramp service and liner service to the Baltic and Caspian Sea. While the company is relatively new, BBCs managers have a wealth of professional experience and come from all segments of the shipping industry including owning, forwarding and operating companies based in Hamburg, Copenhagen, New Orleans, and Buenos Aires. BBC both manages and charters vessels, and in 1999 BBC moved its headquarters to Leer, Germany, a small town in western Germany on the Dutch border. The reason behind the move was to facilitate communication between BBC and the vessel owners, many of whom have offices in the Leer area.

Although BBC is based in Leer, BBC has a world-wide presence. Soon after the company was founded, Mr. Andersen realized that in order to provide the most efficient service possible, BBC would have to open highly-focused regional offices with the mandate to service local clients and to provide information to the company which is not usually available to non-local entities. BBC now has offices in Leer, Bremen, Houston, Rio, Tokyo, Seoul, Santiago de Chile, and Toronto and a total workforce of over 100 employees. BBC employees come from 17 different countries, and speak over 15 different languages. Rider Griswold, president of BBC USA (LP) in Houston says,  In our office, we have 15 employees speaking 7 different languages with a combined total of over 200 years of shipping experience. Certainly no US Gulf-based operator can match us for talent or experience, and probably no other breakbulk operator in the world.  Mr. Andersen affirms, stating  Theres no doubt in my mind that we have the most talented, dedicated group in the entire industry. 

Aside from its talented management, BBC attributes its success to the size, abilities and age of its fleet. Most of BBCs tonnage is under three years old and is self-sustaining. Also, most of the vessels are between 4,000 and 8, 000 metric tons deadweight and eight vessels are flagged in Brazil in order to carry Brazilian-flagged preference cargoes. The decision to add larger vessels to the fleet is the result of careful market analysis and, of course, the desire to assist clients with the right vessel at the right place upon demand. For example, Natalie Jones, the manager for BBCs South American service maintains that the new vessels will provide BBC with the complete flexibility in the South American breakbulk market.  First, we showed our clients that we were committed to South America by establishing frequent and reliable service to many South American ports from the US and Europe and flagging eight of our vessels with the Brazilian flag. Then we opened BBC do Brasil, BBCs South American profile office in Rio to provide the local service essential to assisting our customers. Now, with the new vessels, theres nothing we wont be able to offer our clients!
