Interview by Theophanis Theophanous, BSM Hellas Managing Director as published in SHIPPING International Monthly Review on March 2022

Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) and the Norwegian ammonia specialist Amon Maritime have announced the creation of a 50/50 joint venture “Ula Ship Management” during Nor-Shipping in Oslo. The joint venture, which will be based in Sandefjord in southern Norway, aims to offer ship management services for the Norwegian market, specialising in ammonia-powered vessels, but open to all types of ships.

Ian Beveridge, CEO of the Schulte Group, is convinced that the struggle for well-trained seafarers will be one of the greatest challenges facing the maritime industry in the coming years.

The pressure within the shipping industry is growing. Well-trained seafarers are in short supply. BSM is taking new innovative approaches to counteract the shortage of skilled manpower.

Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) is working to implement digital Environmental Record Books on all of its over 400 fully managed vessels by mid-2022. It’s a huge digitalisation project that will make the fleet even more efficient and transparent.
