More than 600 invited guests gathered yesterday at Limassol Marina, Cyprus, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM). Customers and partners, representatives from business and politics as well as employees, paid tribute to BSM as a first mover in third-party ship management. Fifty years ago, the foundation was laid for the development of todays BSM, which is now one of the largest ship management companies in the world. Furthermore, it was the beginning of the unparalleled development of Cyprus into one of the world’s most important shipping locations.

Schulte Group presented today for the first time its next generation design for an LNG bunker vessel (LBV) at Gastech Exhibition and Conference in Milan. The shipping group has used its experience as an LNG bunker vessel owner and operator to develop a new innovative LBV design that is easy-to-use, fulfils present and known future requirements for at-sea LNG bunker deliveries and reduces last-mile costs.

The war in Ukraine is the dominant topic. A statement from Ian Beveridge, CEO of the Schulte Group, about the extensive implications for the shipping industry.

BSM celebrates 50 years of innovation this year since it was founded as the world’s first third-party ship manager on Cyprus in 1972. And the extraordinary success story goes on.

With new IMO regulations on Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) taking effect in 2023, BSM’s Fleet Performance Centre is supporting ship owners’ efforts in reducing their vessels’ carbon impact.

Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement and Norwegian pioneer Amon Maritime team up to drive the future of green shipping.

Schulte Group’s newbuilding arm, Schulte Marine Concept (S.M.C.), wins new contract to conduct plan approval and construction supervision for first service operation vessels (SOVs) designed for the Chinese market.

BSM has four Maritime Training Centres (MTC) worldwide; the move of its training facility in India from Mumbai to a new state-of-the-art location in Kochi is a sign of BSM’s commitment to continuous investment to ensure the highest standard of training for our seafarers.

Smart and proactive vessel maintenance reduces the risk of issues with onboard systems causing downtime. BSM introduces Condition Monitoring and successfully completes the pilot phase.

BSM plans to initialise an electronic logbook for all of its more than 450 fully managed vessels. Like the implementation of eRBooks, a digital environmental record book, this marks another huge digitalisation effort for the fleet.

BSM teamed up with clean-tech company Signol to study for the first time how individual behavioural change can lead to a reduction in ships’ energy demand and carbon emissions.
