Founded in 2017 as a joint venture, GP General Procurement Company Limited (GenPro) is an independent procurement company. GenPro's objective is to negotiate framework supply agreements with international ship suppliers, ensuring BSM’s customers benefit from optimal prices for maritime products and services worldwide. In addition, the company actively advocates for the establishment of more sustainable supply chains.

The goal is clear: shipping aims to become climate-neutral by 2050. An ambitious endeavour, considering that we are talking about an estimated 60,000 ships worldwide. The use of alternative fuels and new propulsion concepts will be of major importance. Ian Beveridge, CEO of the Schulte Group, takes a look at the multi-fuel future.

In the past months, the upcoming inclusion of the maritime sector in the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) has caused a lot of debate and open questions regarding who will pay for EU ETS certificates. Now there seems to be more clarity according to Sebastian von Hardenberg, BSM’s Chief Financial Officer.

For almost a year and a half, the BSM managed container vessel “Joseph Schulte” had been detained in the port of Odesa. The ship was finally able to leave Odesa as the first ship through the new humanitarian corridor established by the Ukrainian government.

The decarbonisation of shipping entails a lot of technological and economic challenges. The question of safety in the operation of the new climate-friendly technology solutions is rarely discussed in this context but must not be neglected under any circumstances. An opinion piece by David Furnival, BSM Chairman and experienced maritime safety expert.
