- Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) has joined the SEA-LNG coalition – bringing its decades of LNG operational experience and technical insight to SEA-LNG.
- BSM’s decision to join SEA-LNG reflects the decision of many others joining this year who recognise LNG as a practical and realistic lower-emission marine fuel.
Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) has joined the SEA-LNG coalition, enhancing its commitment to LNG as a lower-emission marine fuel, reads an official release.
As informed, BSM has more than 100 gas carriers under management, over half of which are LNG carriers. It also manages close to 30 LNG dual-fuel ships and presently 2 LNG bunker vessels, with more coming into management soon.
BSM becomes the first ship manager to join SEA-LNG
According to SEA-LNG, BSM’s safety credentials will also enhance the coalition’s combined skillset as all its vessels under management undergo reviews and audits from Oil Companies International Marine Forum’s (OCIMF) Tanker Management and Self-Assessment (TMSA) to ensure full compliance with International Safety Management (ISM) requirements.
In regard to the training standards for seafarers and shoreside crew to ensure safe and efficient vessel operation, it is worth mentioning that BSM has its own dedicated LNG training facilities for realistic training via liquid cargo simulators (LCS), designed and developed by BSM’s in-house technical team that uses SEA-LNG member GTT’s training software.
BSM also operates an LNG Competence Centre (LCC), providing consultancy services across a range of LNG industry topics, including technical, crewing and commercial matters.
