The leading provider of multipurpose and heavy lift shipping services, German based BBC Chartering, allocates more shipping capacity to its ‘Andino Express Line’, a liner service that was launched in 2005 connecting Houston with the West Coast of South America.
This connection ever since plays a major role for the energy and mining industry and continues to enjoy further popularity demanding more MPV/HL tonnage. Starting this December, BBC Chartering continues to strengthen its leading position on both south- and northbound trade and implements a weekly schedule.
Jamilette De La Paz, BBC Chartering’s VP for Liner Services from Houston says, “Over the years the ‘Andino Express Line’ has established itself as reliable and important connection servicing cargo clients in both directions. We can be proud that the market asks for additional BBC capacity which we will be pleased to allocate.” De La Paz remarks the service is scheduled to call Veracruz (Mexico) and Paita (Peru) once a month, and on a weekly basis Esmeraldas or Guayaquil (Ecuador), Callao (Peru), Arica, Puerto Angamos / Antofagasta and Valpariso (Chile).
Svend Andersen, CEO of BBC Chartering remarks, “We are pleased to improve market opportunities along the ‘Andino Express Line’ as it is our mission to innovate services where they can add value for our clients.” Andersen also said the official cut-off date for the first weekly voyage on the upgraded service will be December 6th, 2012.
The service is managed out of the Houston office of BBC Chartering. The local offices along the West Coast of South America in Guayaquil (Ecuador), Lima (Peru), Santiago (Chile), and Bogota (Colombia) are taking inquiries for the service. Connections to South America’s East Coast are also offered through BBC Chartering’s ‘Americana Line’. BBC Chartering additionally serves both coasts of South America though its regular ‘European Service’ and ‘Far East Service’.
