Marine transport and logistics provider Peters & May has partnered with Briese Chartering to secure shipping services on a key trade route.
The new collaboration enables Peters & May to secure at least one confirmed vessel each month on the southbound route from Northern Europe to the East Mediterranean during the summer months of 2025.
The first sailing on BBC Bahrain, which took place in June, saw more than 13 yachts loaded across six ports, including both underdeck and on-deck cargo.
Peters & May has access to 11 vessels from the Briese Chartering fleet, with port stops typically including key locations across Northern Europe and the East Mediterranean including Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Southampton, Palma, Nice, Genoa, Lavrion, Marmaris, or Izmir.
Additional ports, including Gibraltar, Malta, Split, or Tivat, and others may be added to the rotation subject to demand.
The new collaboration will support our service offering on this trade lane.

Briese Chartering, part of the Briese Group, operates more than 30 vessels and delivers shipping services from bulk cargo to project logistics.
Peters & May also has an existing alliance with Briese Chartering sister company BBC Chartering, with a renewed agreement from the Mediterranean to the US due to commence in September.
“Important for both reliability and route stability, the new collaboration will support our service offering on this trade lane over the coming months, significantly enhancing our competitiveness and visibility for this market,” said Simon Judson, CEO at Peters & May.
“Delivering new value to our clients, Briese Chartering provides us with the vessel tonnage and gear we require, with a fleet large enough to give us a reliable solution each time. We have the option to secure a full vessel option, building up cargo on and under deck.

Guenther Siemens, MD, Briese Chartering said: “We look forward to working with Peters & May to deliver the highest standard of services and transport solutions to customers.
“I am confident our companies can join forces with a shared mission to provide trusted solutions and customer satisfaction over the coming months.”
