As from April 2012, BBC Chartering´s new monthly service "BBC Euro-Asia Express Line" will connect Rotterdam with ports in South East Asia and the Far East. The company reports it seeks to employ mainly its 7,200 dwt multipurpose Ro/Ro heavy lift vessels on the service. These vessels also referred to as ´K-Type´ offer a lifting capability up to 300 mton (2x 150 mton cranes) and a sternramp with 350 mton capacity.
BBC Chartering previously announced it is strengthening its global liner activities responding to market requirements and its ongoing business development. The new line offers a high frequency on a long haul service and gives charterers also attractive transshipment options.
Last, in December 2011, the company introduced its BBC Americana Line / Med Service and this together with the already existing liner services as BBC Gulf Line and BBC Andino line, this last one calling Rotterdam on inducement basis, represent a natural step in the company's further development as BBC Chartering reports it wants a ‘healthily balanced business' regarding the employment of the 140 vessels in tramp, liner and affreightment services.
