Dan-Gulf and BBC Chartering add m/v BBC Ocean to CaytransBBC Fleet

January/February 2012 ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú BBC Chartering and Dan-Gulf Shipping announce that the m/v BBC Ocean will be joining the CaytransBBC fleet mid February this year. The BBC Ocean is a 6,150dwt tween deck multi-purpose vessel with 329,450cbf bale capacity featuring 120mt lifting capacity.

The BBC Ocean will be operated by CaytransBBC which offers a weekly break-bulk liner service between Houston and Mobile to the North Coast of South America, the Caribbean and Central America. The larger vessel and the increased capacity allow the line to provide higher levels of service to clients.

?¢‚Ǩ?ìAdding a larger vessel to our fleet reflects our positive outlook on the market and is a direct result of the continued growth of our service. We believe that the BBC Ocean will allow us to offer better options for larger parcels into and out of the North Coast of South America?¢‚Ǩ¬ù said Mac Bruton, Vice President for Sales and Marketing at Dan-Gulf.
