Vessel Description

BBC Manila is a multipurpose heavy lift general cargo vessel operating under the BBC Chartering fleet, one of the world's largest operators of multipurpose and heavy lift tonnage. The vessel is designed to transport breakbulk, project cargo, and heavy lift cargoes, featuring onboard crane equipment suitable for handling oversized and out-of-gauge freight. As a relatively modern vessel built in 2017, she represents the newer generation of BBC Chartering's fleet, capable of calling at ports with limited shore-based infrastructure due to her self-sustaining cargo handling capability. She sails under the flag of Antigua and Barbuda and is managed within the broader commercial network of BBC Chartering GmbH & Co. KG based in Leer, Germany.
