German multipurpose and heavylift operator[ds_preview] BBC Chartering intensifies its activities in the Intra-Asia market by launching a new service.

The new monthly service connects Thailand, other destinations in South East Asia and Australia/New Zealand starting mid-December 2016. The Intra-Asia Market is one of the few with relatively good demand. Several carrier try to benefit by positioning their tonnage there. Others like Swire Shipping focus on the regional market in general.

BBC sees good opportunities in Asia as well. »Due to the increased demand for this connection, we are now pleased to open this new service between Asia and New Zealand«, said Steven Hawkswood, Senior Chartering Manager at BBC Chartering in Singapore. As part of the company‘s global ‘apac service’ (any port, any cargo), BBC would be »actively looking at all cargo ‘en route’ for each sailing.«

The Leer-based subsidiary of Reederei Briese describes itself as »market leader for global transports of general, breakbulk, heavy lift, and project cargo«. Currently, more than 175 MPP / HL vessels, offering lifting capacities of 900mt and above, are operated.
