Germany-based Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) announced that it was selected as ship manager of the 20,146 TEU containership, MOL Tribute, which came into full management of the Hong Kong Ship Management Centre on July 10th, 2017.
Built by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea, MOL Tribute is 400 meters in length and among the biggest container vessels globally.
The extremely detailed process to select and appoint a ship manager for the ultra large containerships was commenced by the owner nearly two years ago, with BSM being selected following visits to the Hong Kong Ship Management Centre, the Mumbai Maritime Training Centre and on board large containerships currently being managed by the company.
BSM’s relationship with Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) stretches back almost three decades and extends across bulk carriers, containerships and tankers which are both owned and chartered by MOL.
