Rickmers-Linie, the Hamburg based specialist for project and heavy lift liner services 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 U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coasts as well as ports in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, the UAE, Iraq, and Yemen. It enables the chartering of space from Rickmers-Linie to Bahri Liner and vice versa and authorizes Rickmers-Linie and Bahri Liner to coordinate arrangements with regard to that space in the aforementioned trades.

“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,” said Ulrich Ulrichs, CEO of Rickmers-Linie.

“We look forward to the cooperation with Rickmers-Linie,” said Matthew Luckhurst, Liner Director of Bahri Liner, “and I am sure that our joint customers will value the added possibilities offered by this space charter agreement.”
