Maintaining its positive run in 2018, Bahri, a global leader in transportation and logistics, accepted the delivery of ‘Qamran’, a Very Large Crude-oil Carrier (VLCC), to further strengthen its market-leading position in crude oil transportation and enhance its maritime offering.

The 300,000-DWT carrier is the third VLCC to join Bahri’s fleet this year, following the delivery of ‘Kassab’ in January and ‘Lawhah’ in February, bringing the total number of Bahri’s fleet to 91 vessels including 44 VLCCs. The new vessel has reinforced the company’s position as the largest VLCC owner and operator worldwide. Built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (HSHI), the world’s largest shipbuilding company based in South Korea, the new VLCC features a length of 330 meters and a width of 60 meters.

Bahri took the delivery of ‘Qamran’ at a ceremony held at the HSHI’s Mokpo shipyard in South Jeolla Province, South Korea, on February 28, 2018. The carrier is part of the 10 VLCCs Bahri signed with the South Korean company in May 2015 in line with the Saudi conglomerate’s strategic long-term maritime growth and expansion plan.

“The addition of ‘Qamran’ to our already strong fleet is a new milestone in our growth journey and a true testament to the robustness of Bahri’s long-term expansion plans. In addition to providing a significant boost to our efforts to deliver unprecedented growth and productivity in 2018, the new vessel will further enhance our maritime offering and enable us to expand our customer base by catering to the increased demand for crude-oil transportation across local and international markets. Further, ‘Qamran’ has solidified our position as a leader in the global maritime sector,” said Abdullah Aldubaikhi, CEO of Bahri.

 

“Qamran has renewed our resolve to revolutionize the maritime industry through diversified and innovative solutions designed to meet various needs in the market. More importantly, it has further bolstered Bahri’s capability to continue our support to the Kingdom’s ambitious initiatives such as the Saudi Vision 2030, and contribute to the country’s efforts to reinforce its pre-eminent position as a strategic regional hub and logistics gateway across continents,” added Aldubaikhi.

CMC Marine_new tailor made systems (10).jpg

The Eurasia Boat Show is in full swing and CMC Marine is there in Istanbul to illustrate, for the first time in Turkey, the advantages of its product range’s expansion. Turkey has increasingly become a key market for CMC Marine, thanks also to the partnership with local dealer BTS Marin.

CMC Marine reconfirms its presence at Eurasia Boat Show, which is now at its 13th edition and is attracting more visitors every year. More than 600 Companies are exhibiting and at least 200 thousand visitors are expected. Turkey is a very active market for CMC Marine, both for new construction and refit. The Tuscan Company recently increased its investment in the Country, in line with the commercial strategy aimed towards new markets expansion.

The increasing interest and validation from this area are also the result of the valuable collaboration with BTS Marin, the Turkish dealer in charge of the promotion and assistance in the area. The collaboration started in 2014 and has become progressively stronger.

The boat show is the perfect occasion for CMC Marine to illustrate visitors all the advantages of the new electrical stabilizers’ models recently introduced, novelty that was already welcomed with great interest during the international events last fall. In the last few years the Turkish market has very much increased its production and is developing at a fast pace, thanks to the strong entrepreneurial skills of the shipyards partnered with CMC Marine (such as Tunsu, Numarine and Yildiz).

Alessandro Gallifuoco – CMC Marine Sales Manager – stated: “Attending this boat show affirms our intention to strengthen the positioning of CMC Marine in different parts of the world. Turkey represents a key sector for us, other than a fast-developing market, in fact the most positive feedbacks we received for our Stabilis Electra systems came from Turkish owners. We are also very satisfied for our collaboration with BTS Marin, which not only efficiently promotes our products on the Turkish market and Middle East, but also guarantees an excellent technical assistance service”.
