CaytransBBC expands service
January 2012 – CaytransBBC, a service managed by Dan-Gulf shipping, announces it is adding a sixth vessel to its fleet. The M/V ‘BBC Anglia’ will join the existing fleet that offers regular service between the US Gulf and the North Coast of South America. The ship will deliver into the service in mid January 2012 in Santa Marta, Colombia.
The ‘BBC Anglia’ is a 4,820dwat multipurpose vessel featuring box-shaped cargo holds, adjustable tween-decks, and 2 x 60mt cranes that can lift up to 120mt combined. The vessel joins a modern fleet that is suitable to carry project, break-bulk and bulk cargoes. Like the other CaytransBBC vessels, the BBC Anglia is timber and grain fitted and can be converted to a single deck carrier upon request.
The fleet extension will allow CaytransBBC to provide more regular sailings. The lines’ vessel
load in Houston and Mobile and connect to Cartagena, Santa Marta and Barranquilla in
Colombia, Guanta and Maracaibo in Venezuela and to Pt. Lisas in Trinidad. Other load and
discharge ports can be called on inducement basis.
CaytransBBC reports it has enjoyed a steady growth in cargo volume over the past year. The lines’ ability to provide superior customer service, timely sailings and competitive freight rates has allowed it to gain significant market share into the North Coast South American and Caribbean market.
“We are pleased to see our services expand to meet the increasing demands from international shippers”, states Mr. Niels Busse, President of Dan-Gulf Shipping and adds: “Our niche expertise on the trade to the North Coast of South America and other Caribbean and Central American destinations is unique and we are prepared to discuss any project opportunities.”
