More than 200 senior representatives from the global shipping community were present on the 20th of September, at the inauguration ceremony of the new Singapore offices of Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) in the Republic’s Central Business District.

To celebrate the opening of the new wholly-owned building, named ‘Bernhard Schulte House’, consisting of nine floors and a gross floor area of 41,806 square feet, Bernhard Schulte (BS), BSM and MariApps Marine Solutions invited customers and business partners to attend and celebrate with them.

Acquired by the Schulte Group in 2017, the new premises now houses BS, the Group’s ship owning company, alongside BSM, the third-party ship manager, and MariApps, the Group’s digital solutions company.

“We are excited to relocate to these new offices,” said Raymond Peter, Managing Director of BSM Singapore at the inauguration ceremony. “BSM’s presence in Singapore has grown steadily in recent years and we believe that the new ‘Bernhard Schulte House’ will cater to the future growth and expansion of the Group’s entities in Singapore. This purchase also depicts Singapore’s relevance as a regional centre of the Schulte Group and supports the local government’s initiative of strengthening the country’s maritime cluster.”

“Working together with a leading Singapore based interior designer, the new office has been renovated with the comfort of colleagues and guests in mind. The Group has invested reasonably in this new office to ensure a pleasant and healthy workplace for our colleagues as well as a hospitable venue for our guests”, Johann Schulte, Shareholder of Bernhard Schulte, added.

BSM Singapore has had a direct presence in Singapore for more than 20 years and is now one of the leading ship managers in the Republic, with over 100 vessels under full management.
