The UK-based global yacht transport and logistics specialist Peters & May has announced a strategic partnership with the German-headquartered Briese Chartering for a regular and monthly sailing option between Northern Europe and the East Mediterranean.

Peters & May has – with this new agreement – secured at least one confirmed vessel every month on the southbound route from this summer.

The first sailing on BBC Bahrain took place in June with over 13 yachts loaded across 6 ports, including both underdeck and on-deck cargo.

Peters & May will have access to 11 agreed vessels from the Briese Chartering fleet, delivering a solution to this key market from July through October.

The port stops typically include key locations across Northern Europe and the East Mediterranean, such as Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Southampton, Palma, Nice, Genoa, Lavrion, Marmaris, or Izmir, whilst additional ports, including Gibraltar, Malta, Split, or Tivat, and others may be added to the rotation subject to demand.

Briese Chartering, part of the German-based Briese Group, operates more than 30 vessels and specialises in delivering shipping services from bulk cargo to project logistics. 

Peters & May mentions that it also has an existing alliance with Briese Chartering sister company BBC Chartering, with a renewed agreement from the Mediterranean to the U.S. due to commence in September.
