“Celebrating 20 years in Greece is a testament to our dedicated team, our partners, and our shared commitment to maritime excellence.

Theophanous was already involved in the establishment and launch of the regional SMC, which was founded in May 2005 when BSM decided to expand into the Greek shipping market.

Since its establishment in 2005, BSM Hellas has played a vital role in supporting Greece’s maritime sector, one of the largest and strongest maritime markets, offering high-quality, safe, and efficient vessel management. Over the past two decades, the company has grown its local presence, cultivated strong relationships within the Greek as well as global shipping community, and contributed to the industry’s continued advancement.

“Despite being one of the company’s youngest Ship Management Centres, BSM Hellas has become stronger and stronger over the years, securing oil major time charter approvals and expanding the fleet under management to include LNG, LPG, ethylene carriers, oil and product tankers, bulk carriers and containers ships,” shared Theophanous on the company’s history. “Today, BSM Hellas is trusted by clients from Greece, France, Malta, Turkey, the Netherlands, Dubai, the USA, Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Central Africa.”

Proud to connect continents through ships and service, the BSM Hellas Ship Management Centre will be managing over 80 vessels by the end of 2025 and also has a confirmed expansion in the imminent few years ahead, where the fleet will sail pass the 100 mark. In the future, its focus will firmly remain on supporting clients by ensuring consistently high service quality and providing adaptive solutions where required.
