About
BBC Chartering was founded in Bremen in October 1997 and moved its head office to Leer, Germany, two years later. It is part of the Briese Group, and sister company Briese Schiffahrt owns many of the vessels it operates; about 50% of the fleet is group-controlled.
Milestones include the introduction of the project division in 2011, delivery of the first F500-type vessel, BBC RUSSIA, in 2018, and the addition of the first LakerMax-class vessel, BBC LEER, in May 2024, when the company also opened its Hamburg office. In 2025 BBC HOUSTON became the first LakerMax vessel to pass the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway.
The company has more than 30 offices and more than 300 employees, and DNV certifies its ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 management systems.
