Rickmers-Linie and Bahri Liner sign space charter agreement

Rickmers-Linie and the National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (trading as Bahri Liner) have recently signed a space charter agreement.

The agreement covers the ports on the US Atlantic and Gulf Coasts as well as ports in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, the UAE, Iraq and the Yemen. It enables the chartering of space from Rickmers-Linie to Bahri Liner and vice versa on vessels operated by the other and authorises Rickmers-Linie and Bahri Liner to coordinate arrangements with regard to that space in the aforementioned trades.

Ulrich Ulrichs, CEO of Rickmers-Linie, commented: “With this space charter agreement both Bahri Liner and Rickmers are able to broaden their networks to offer our customers a wider choice of possibilities on the high level of reliability of the liner services of our companies.”
