BBC Chartering has taken delivery of the first in a series of 15 new “LakerMax” multipurpose triple deckers, a new generation vessel type the carrier has billed as a “heavyweight champion of project cargo transportation”. MV BBC LEER – named after the town where BBC Chartering is headquartered – was due to be dispatched at the end of May by China’s Taizhou Sanfu Heavy Industry to its owners, Briese Schiffahrts GmbH & Co. KG. The ship will enter a long-time charter with BBC Chartering for worldwide trading. The remaining 14 vessels are slated for delivery by 2026. “Whilst the global multipurpose fleet is ageing, this investment by the Briese Group is a clear commitment to renewing our fleet with modern tonnage and maintaining our market position,” said Ulrich Ulrichs, CEO of BBC Chartering. The LakerMax series of 13,000 DWT #heavylift vessels are equipped with two Liebherr Group LS 250 shipboard #cranes located portside to provide a lifting capacity of up to 500 metric tons. The bridge and crew quarters are positioned at the front of the vessels. “This set-up creates an impressive, unobstructed weather deck of more than 2,800 square meters. That’s 30 percent more than the previous F500 vessel class and 90 percent more than the classic EF type,” Ulrichs said in a video to present the LakerMax series. The two cargo holds are box-shaped and offer an area for almost 26,000 cubic meters of cargo on a covered floor space of nearly 5,000 square meters. The main large triple-deck cargo hold, meanwhile, can house #cargo units under deck up to 104.3 meters long and 18.2 meters wide. The #vessels are powered by a 6,000 kW MAN B&W main engine to allow for eco-friendly speeds of between 13 and 15 knots. “The capacity on offer makes it one of the most efficient #multipurpose heavy-lift vessels in the market,” Ulrichs said. The new series will join BBC Chartering’s existing fleet of more than 140 multipurpose heavy-lift vessels, which range from 4,000 to 40,000 DWT and boast lifting capacities of up to 800 metric tons. **BBC Chartering is a regular exhibitor at Breakbulk events. The next event in the calendar is Breakbulk Americas 2024 on 15-17 October at the George R Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. #breakbulkamericas #bbam2024

In today’s shipping demanding motion an hour of an unscheduled delay at high-profile fast loading berth can cause an irreversible time loss and commercial prejudice. A delay doesn’t represent anymore just a loss of time, but it has much deeper consequences such as interruption of terminal operations, postponement of scheduled terminal maintenance operations, rescheduling of cargo surveyors, pilots, mooring boats, mooring men, tugs and postponement of other arrivals/departures Fast loading terminals which deliver tens of millions of tonnes of cargo every month don’t go easy on non-performance at berth which often results in terminal fines, negative feedback to rating companies and cargo shortage, all affecting in an irreversible way the successful outcome of the agreed cargo quantity to be loaded, and subsequently the voyage outcome When a large dry bulk carrier is employed to load at a fast loading berth risks such as: - incomplete pre-loading preparations - cargo operation delays due to equipment malfunction - downtime at berth due to de-ballasting problems - downtime at berth due to slow calculations procedures - cargo shortage due to excessive residual ballast quantity - cargo shortage due to hull deflection - overloading of the ship - staff skill limitations can cause significant reputational concerns and financial losses which can spiral to unpredictable heights. If your company wants to prevent such issues from future incidence, minimize port cargo related non-performance and develop and implement procedures that can withstand times of crisis which will contribute to an excellence operational standard feel welcome to get in touch.

When is the boat with my container arriving..?? When is the ship with my container arriving..?? When is the vessel with my container arriving..?? These are some of the questions that I have heard in my time in the industry.. Many organizations and people in the industry (including me) use the terms ship and vessel terms interchangeably, while some are guilty of using the term boat to refer to a full-fledged cargo ship.. So, what is the right terminology to use in our day-to-day business for that big floating thing that carries our cargo from A to B..?? Is it a BOAT, is it a SHIP, is it a VESSEL..??
Is it a boat, is it a ship, is it a vessel..??

In the past, loading cargo onto ships involved manual and basic methods. Before modern machinery, dockworkers, also known as stevedores, played a crucial role in this process. They used simple tools like ropes, pulleys, and hooks, and often formed human chains to pass goods along efficiently. Cargo was typically packed in barrels, sacks, and wooden crates to protect them during the voyage. Hand trucks and wheelbarrows were used to transport heavier items from the docks to the ships. This process required significant physical strength and coordination among the dockworkers. The cargo hold of a ship was accessed through hatches, and the cargo was carefully stowed to maintain the vessel's balance and prevent shifting during the voyage.Marcon Logística PortuáriaPortos do Paraná

VESSEL REVIEW: JAPAN MARINE UNITED CORPORATION (JMU) has handed over a new Ro-Ro vessel to compatriot shipping company Senba Kaiun. 'JFE Hakuryu' will operate under charter with JFE Logistics Corporation to provide sea transport services for JFE Steel Corporation. The cargo deck will be capable of handling wheeled vehicles as well as palletised freight each weighing up to 100 tonnes. JMU said the newbuild is an improvement over an earlier series of Ro-Ro pallet carrier boasting enhanced efficiency thanks to a fully automated cargo handling system that also includes a side loading/unloading capability for heavy vehicles. A second cargo layer was incorporated, allowing the operator to transport a significantly greater volume of palletised freight totalling approximately 3,700 cubic metres over the same distance.

Why is mixed stow of 20ft and 40ft containers called “Russian stow”? Have you ever wondered why the term "Russian stow" is used to describe the mixed stow of 20ft and 40ft containers? You're not alone! This mystery has left many scratching their heads, including us at MacGregor. Sometimes people ask me about it, and sometimes I ask when I meet ship owners or seafarers. So far, no one has been able to explain it. I'm sure someone out there knows where this name comes from! Please let us all know! Now that we're on the topic, let’s talk about the mixed stow a bit, Russian stow… …makes stacking of 40ft containers on two 20ft ones possible – check the pic! You can load 40ft containers on top, without losing cargo flexibility on deck. …makes lifting of heavy 20ft containers from hold to the deck possible. Today's bigger ships are wider and painfully stable. We need weight higher up to control the rolling of the ship. Mixed stow is cool, because… …maximizing cargo capacity and controlling rolling of the ship can lead to higher earnings for shipping companies. More cargo per voyage means increased revenue. …calmer ship movements reduce the risk of accidents and damage to both cargo and the ship. There is no reason to panic, if your ship has not yet the mixed stow, because… …MacGregor can do it for your sailing vessels simply and cost-efficiently. …MacGregor can do it for your newbuildings too, so that it is giving you the maximum performance. #mixedstow #russianstow #containerships #lashings #cargosystem

Early onset of peak season: almost zero vessel idling Higher-than-expected cargo demand and the reappearance of vessel congestion in some key ports are putting additional strain in the maritime supply chain. Combined with the fallout from the Israel - Gaza War, subsequent threats in the Red Sea, and the ensuing service diversions via the Cape of Good Hope, supply of container tonnage remains tight on a global level. The number of commercially idle ships, which had already been low in recent months, has fallen even further in the second half of May, with idle capacity now at only 0.4% of the total fleet. The market has last seen such a low level of vessel idling in February 2022, when carriers deployed each and every available ship to capitalize on the sky-high post-pandemic container freight rates. Between Alphaliner’s last two surveys, vessel idling dropped by more than 62,000 teu in terms of capacity. As per 20 May, the global idle container ship fleet settled at 57 ships and 139,984 teu. The peak season started early this year, presumably since importers are front-loading containers to get ahead of anticipated supply chain delays and equipment shortages. Strong cargo demand is thus expected to keep demand for tonnage high in the coming months. Idle fleet breakdown > 500 TEU as at 20 May 2024 > “commercially idle’ : ships without a revenue-generating commercial activity, such as vessels in warm or cold lay-up, between service assignments for longer-than-normal periods, arrested, detained, abandoned, or idle for any other reasons (excludes ships waiting off congested ports as part of a commercial revenue-generating service deployment). > ‘in yard’ : ships in or at shipyards for routine maintenance, emergency repair, retrofit, conversion, or any other works (excludes new buildings under construction). > ‘inactive’ : the sum of ‘commercially idle’ + ‘in yard’ .Despite this, it remains to be seen whether the market will be able to absorb the almost 2 Mteu of new buildings still due this year. The increased demand for tonnage was also reflected in the number of vessels in yard being reactivated. Over the past two weeks, almost 32,000 teu of container ship capacity left drydock to re-join revenue service. Alphaliner registered 124 ships for 483,330 in drydock in its latest survey
