German multipurpose and heavy lift operator BBC Chartering in January took delivery of three new buildings as part of its extensive fleet renewal and modernisation programme. The ‘BBC Amethyst’, the ‘BBC Belem’, and the ‘BBC Mont Blanc’ have started their services for BBC Chartering. The 14 360dwt ‘BBC Amethyst’ is the second in a series of 14 planned newbuildings. Along with the previously delivered ‘BBC Amber’ she offers a combined lifting capacity of 800mt (2x400mt). This vessel type currently marks the top of the company’s heavy lift fleet portfolio. The ‘BBC Belem’ is the third in a series of eight new vessels in the multipurpose segment - 8 000dwt with a lifting capacity of 2x80mt. Together with ‘BBC Everest’, ‘BBC Fuji’, ‘BBC Kibo’, the ‘BBC Mont Blanc’ is the fourth member of a vessel programme BBC Chartering’s Svend Andersen refers to as ‘flexible workhorses’. The company reported earlier it plans to operate eight vessels of this type - 9 300dwt - that offer a combined lifting capacity of 700mt.
