BSM has become a member of the SEA-LNG coalition, a not-for-profit collaborative industry foundation committed to furthering the use of LNG as an important, environmentally superior maritime fuel. SEA-LNG has members across the entire LNG value chain, including providers of the product, users, engine and asset suppliers, and class societies. BSM is the first ship manager to join the organisation – bringing its decades of LNG operational experience and technical insight to SEA-LNG. We have a proven track record as the world’s largest third-party ship manager of gas carriers. BSM has more than 100 gas carriers under management, over half of which are LNG carriers. We also manage close to 30 LNG dual-fuel ships and currently 2 LNG bunker vessels and with more coming into management. At BSM, we are committed to LNG as a marine fuel. It is a proven, technically mature solution already being used on many ships, offering comprehensively developed supply and bunkering infrastructure. SEA-LNG provides an important network for exchanging ideas and pooling expertise with other stakeholders, jointly advancing LNG-related projects. #LNG #decarbonisation #alternativefuels #shippingnews #maritimenews
Have you seen the news? Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), the world’s largest third-party ship manager of gas carriers, has joined SEA-LNG! This is a significant milestone as BSM is the first ship manager to join our coalition. BSM will contribute decades of LNG operational experience and technical insight, with 100 gas carriers under its management, over half of which are LNG carriers. It also manages close to 30 LNG dual-fuel ships and, presently, 2 LNG bunker vessels. Nick Topham, Managing Director of BSM Germany commented: “At BSM, we are committed to LNG as a marine fuel. It is a proven, technically mature solution already being used on many ships, offering comprehensively developed supply and bunkering infrastructure. SEA-LNG provides an important network for exchanging ideas and pooling expertise with other stakeholders, jointly advancing LNG-related projects.” LNG has over 60 years of operational history without any major safety incidents. This is a testament to the LNG industry’s rigorous design guidelines for both ships and shore facilities, as well as high standards of training and operations, supported by global regulators and SEA-LNG members like BSM.
