South America Service

Cargoes originating in South America (EC/WC) are efficiently parceled and allocated to voyages with up to weekly sailings; e.g. to Central America, US Gulf, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Far East and to Oceania, also via TransPacific

passage.Under the apac service system, this comprises the sailings marketed as BBC Americana Line - Northbound, BBC Andino Express Line - Northbound, CaytranBBC Northbound, and the BBC South America - Middle East Service.

From tendering through execution, customers expect a seamless delivery and an integrated management of their shipping projects.

The higher the transport project’s value impact, the higher the risk exposure for customers and hence the need for proper, integrated management. This requires logistic activities to be organized around the customer’s project procurement plan.

At BBC Chartering, the customer will have a single point of contact as a dedicated project manager who coordinates vessel specific operations, transport engineering, cargo operations, and HSEQ matters. BBC Chartering customers benefit from a dedicated “competence center” for projects, which ensures the customer’s integrated needs are properly addressed, risks and value impacts are recognized, and a direct line of communication is established to resolve any issue which may arise during the project.

Since starting out, BBC Chartering have worked to establish a company culture where looking after each other is a natural way of thinking, and where a risk assessment of our operations is instinctive both for crew onboard our chartered fleet as it is for our onshore staff. In our HSEQ strategy we commit ourselves to:

• demonstrate excellence in health, safety and quality, gaining recognition

• as the project carrier of choice to our clients;

• ensure that our company-wide conduct is ethical, responsible and lawful;

• reduce environmental impacts, meeting both regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations;

In this spirit, BBC Chartering GmbH is certified by DNV GL for its ISO 9001 quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management and OHSAS 18001 for occupational health and safety management.
