Since the last publication of our Briese News International,
European and National wise many things have changed and
others stayed.
Many colleagues on board only had the chance to watch the
matches occasionally. Thanks that you have been on board.
The once who have been on vacation or in a port had more
luck. Russia, Ukraine and Poland played football well but unfortunately they were not able to reach the semi-finals.

With Wladimir Putin we a have a new and old President in Russia. Hopefully he will bring what the citizens expect from him.
The European Economy is still weak and consequently also
the shipping market. The freight rates reached the absolute
bottom and as a result a lot of shipping companies are going
bankrupt. Also two big Russian Shipping companies – Fesco
from Vladivostock and North-Western Shipping Company from
Archangelsk – have been hit hard. They became insolvent.
In comparison to others Briese Shipping is in a relatively stable
condition. By our joint efforts we will be able to bridge the next
one and a half years and afterwards the freight market hopefully will recover.
Most important is the good performance in respect to the sea
transport. Then the clients will stay with us.

Briese Workshop
Herewith we would like to introduce our hard-working
men from our own Briese Workshop. The most of you may
have met them already on board as they are carrying out
main engine overhauls, lifeboat services and all other kind
of repairs on board of our vessels.
Mr. Evgeny Kalyapin joined the Workshop as first person in
November 2007. Since mid of 2008 he receives support by
Mr. Uwe Friedrichs, who worked for us already since 2 year
with company TIS and only 2,5 month later also Mr. Ewald
Woortmann joined the team.
Because of the huge amount of work in August 2011 also Mr.
Sven Böning joined the team.
After 20 years of reliable service the old workshop truck
was put at rest and went for this new beautiful truck. The
mobile billboard moves with the truck to port destinations
in at the North Sea and the Baltic supporting machine maintenance works of our Team.
Keep your eyes open next time you are in Mediterranean
Area, Adriatic and of course Antwerp, Rotterdam, Hamburg,
Rostock, or in Poland – you might be able to spot the truck
close to one of our vessels.

Two engineering students were walking
across campus when one said “ Where did
you get such a great bike?”
The second engineer replied, “Well, I was
walking along yesterday minding my own
business when a beautiful woman rode
up on this bike. She threw the bike to the
ground, took off all her clothes and said,
“Take what you want.”
The second engineer nodded approvingly, “Good choice; the clothes probably
wouldn`t have fit”
--After being married for over fourty years
to the worst cook in the world, a man arrived home from work one evening to find
her in floods of tears. “What‘s the matter,
darling?`he asked. “It`s a desaster”, she
wailed “The cat has eaten your dinner!”
“Don`t worry”, said the
husband, comforting her.
“I`ll get you a new cat”
--Bob stood over his tee on the 18th hole
for what seemed like forever. He`d waggle, look down, look up, but never start his
back swing. Finally David, his playing partner, asked, „Why on Earth are you taking
so long to make this shot?“ „My wife is up
there watching me from the clubhouse,
and I want to make this shot
a good one,“ said Bob.
„Good Lord“, said
David, „You haven`t
got a chance of hitting her from here.“
Excursion to Institute of Maritime
Studies in Leer
On June 15th 2012 Laura Horvath,
responsible for the apprentices on
shore, and some of the apprentices
of Briese Schiffahrt and BBC Chartering & Logistic visited the University of Applied Science - Institute
of Maritime Studies in Leer for a 2
hours-tour.
They were guided by Kai Groen who will graduate from the
Institute of Maritime Studies at the end of June and will then
start to work in our operations department.
Oceanology International
The Oceanology International is the world’s largest
exhibition for ocean technology and marine science.
For more than 40 years
this event has been
serving the marine
science and technology community and
today is the most respected global forum in this area.
With 7,728 attendees from more than 70 countries (a
10.8% increase on 2010) and over 525 exhibitors from
33 countries, this year’s exhibition took place 11th – 13th
of March 2012. For the second time Briese Schiffahrts
GmbH & Co. KG (Research Vessel Department) took part
in this international event. As part of the German Pavilion
Briese Schiffahrts GmbH & Co. KG was able to present
the company to an international public, to establish new
contacts and expand already existing relationships with
companies and research institutes.
Please note the following information on future events:
For the third time Briese Schiffahrts GmbH & Co. KG
(Research vessel Department), in cooperation with the
Baltic Institute for Baltic Sea Research, will assign the
‘Briese-Award for Marine Research’. The event will take
place in November 2012.
For any further questions please contact:
Sabine Kruse, E-Mail: Sabine.Kruse@briese.de
The tour started at the maneuvering basin, a 20 m² pool in
which a model ship is filmed to document the forces which
have impact on it. With this data the students are able to
research in the section of measurement and forces and can
implement their results on real vessels.
The second station guided Laura and the apprentices to a
physics seminar room. The job of a sonic camera was demonstrated by involving the apprentices. This sonic camera finds
noises which cannot be detected in one room.
After that, they were brought to the university´s planetarium
in which an artificial star sky can be created. By watching the
fictitious sky and listening to the professor, they got a rough
overview of the astronomy knowledge and how to navigate
without any GPS or radar.
Finally the tour led them to the navigational bridge simulator
which is the beating heart of the university. It is capable of
creating an artificial 120° sight. Waves and weather can be
simulated to learn practically how to maneuver. Hereby the
students got the chance to learn not just theory but also practice by using this simulator.

“Briese Swallow Sevastopol” Ltd Odessa branch office was
opened 01st of June 2012. Located in the center of Odessa it
reflects the whole conception of the Company’s work and it’s
qualified personnel are always ready to assist seaman in finding
employment in Briese Shipping.
company. I’m also fond of foreign languages (English, Turkish and
German).
My first steps in the Company are made in the position of the Office Manager. I can apply my knowledge and obtain great experience. Says - Zhanna Maslova.
The personnel of our office have formulated the following slogan:
”We shall do more than we can, we shall do everything that is
necessary!”
Success doesn’t come to you…you go to it. This positive tone
and outspoken optimism had Zhanna Maslova and Maya Dolgova begin their working career in the Company.
Maya Dolgova is a Crew Manager of the Company and already
has great experience in the field of crewing activity.
“I’m a native of Odessa, born into the family of a seaman, therefore a
passion for the marine business was cultivated in me in my childhood.
The main part of my parents’ working career was connected with the
maritime fleet. My father took me on a voyage many times and I had
an opportunity to see the real life on board a ship. Those bright impressions have remained in my memory and inspired me to choose my
present working activity in the German company “Briese Schiffahrt”.
Happy Birthday and all the best to Kurt Paul!
I received a higher education in two specialities. I have a Diploma in
Marketing (Odessa State Economic University) and a Diploma in Law
(Odessa Regional Institute of State Administration of the National
Academy of State Administration under the President of Ukraine). I
worked for 2 years as a Marketing Manager in commercial real estate
BRIESE NEWS 02-2012
Crewing Matters
“I was born in Izmail into the family of a Marine Engineer. My immediate family was born on the South coast of the Black Sea just
as I was. I think this played a part in their choice of professions
and they worked on the board of the Soviet Danube Shipping
Company.
I started my education at a Technological Institute, than I continued in higher education at Odessa State Economic University.
My acquaintance with the sea began after receiving an offer to
work for a well-known English Travel Company “Sun Cruises”,
where I worked for 7 years in the position of Asst. Purser, than
Senior Asst. Purser.
After that I worked as a Manager Assistant and Coordinator in
several crewing companies of Odessa. The greatest experience
I received was while working for the international crewing company V.Ships (Ukraine).
Initially Odessa, popularly called Porto-Franco, was a center of sea
routes and commercial traffic throughout the world, thus marine
dynasties still exist here. The profession of seafarer is an worthy
choice, offering stability and career advancement.
I’m happy to continue my working activity and apply my qualification in the German Company “Briese Schiffahrt”. I also hope that
seamen who choose our Company will hereafter realize – they
have made the perfect choice!”, - Maya Dolgova.
The office premises have been purchased in November 2011 and
were rebuild during the last months.
Besides Maxim Nester, Angelika Rieken and Wilke Briese took
a part in general design of office space and furniture distribution
for BSS Odessa staff. The walls are decorated with extra-large
pictures of Briese Heavy Lift vessels and the entire fleet can be
viewed and visualized to visitors via the several LCD monitors.
The office is equipped with “high speed optical Internet” connection which enables a smooth communication and Internet
interviews with the Briese office in Germany. The map will guide you the way to our Branch which is situated
in the Historical Centre of Odessa – approx. 100 m away from the

We have to thank the Master and Crew of M/V BBC Romania for such

Christening of M/V BBC Belem
Christening of MV BBC Pluto
First days of March BBC had the idea to have a small
cocktail party on board the M/V BBC Belem in Callao port. BBC had loaded on her a full cargo of steel
structures for the Toromocho Project owned by the
Chinalco ( China).
On the 10th of January 2012 chance was taken
to visit our nice lady “BBC Pluto” during her
first call in Germany.
BBC Leer had then the excellent idea to christen the
vessel at the same time as this was her maiden voyage
from China and have somebody from Chinalco to be the
Godmother.
Then together with BBC Lima all the coordination for
this event were started which resulted very well, thanks
to the big help and guidance we received from Janneke
Picciocchi, Lena Pollmann and Barbara Stelly. The Godmother was Mrs Haymee Rospigliosi the Chinalcos Peru
Presidents executive assistant, she was very excited and
honored.
On March 13th in the afternoon the event took place.
Master and crew had arranged everything and a bus with
Chinalco and MIQ (Frt Forwarders for Chinalco) arrived at
the port just in time with about 35 persons. APM terminal
in Callao was also very helpful as this was the first christening in this terminal under their administration. And yes,
fortunately the champagne bottle broke on the first hit!!
After the formalities of the christening were complied on
shore side, all had the chance to visit the vessel and join
a cocktail party at the bridge. Space was a bit tight but
everybody had a good time as for most of them this was
the first time they had been on a vessels bridge. Chinalco
handed over a nice present to the Master in memory of
this christening. Local press and reporters covering the
event have been on site which came out same day in the
local news. After this all went to the restaurant Cabos
close to the port with the Master, Chief Engineer and the
clients. During dinner the Godmother was given a nice
present which she appreciated very much thanking owners for having chosen her for this big responsibility.

A small and familiar ceremony was arranged
to celebrate the new 37.300 tons deadweight
bulk carrier “BBC Pluto”, one of Briese’s largest vessels, and after discharging in Rotterdam she finally arrived in Nordenham.
Even that she has already been delivered in
October 2010 we have looked for a suitable
and appropriate port to revel the new lady.
“BBC Pluto” was built at Xingang Shipyard in Tianjin and is
the two months younger sister of MV BBC Neptune.
Godmother’s speech:
“I wish you always a good journey
and of course always a hand’s
breadth water under your keel. I
think you survived some storms
before but never the less I hope
that in future the storms stay away
from you. I wish your crew under
the guidance of Captain Lau a harmonic and reliable corporation and
Briese Schiffahrt a lot of success
with you. Herewith I christen you
on the name “BBC Pluto”.”

FURTHER FLEET UPGRADE
SOLD VESSELS IN 2012
In March 2012 we used the good opportunity to buy the nice
multipurpose vessel MS “BBC Bunde”, which is an identic sister to our long-term successful operating vessels “BBC Rheiderland”, “BBC Ostfriesland” and “BBC Leer”, constructed
in the same way on the same shipyard, Flensburger Schiffbau
Gesellschaft, Germany. As a result of bankruptcy and the current low market situation we were able to buy the vessel on very
good terms. After completing the necessary repair and maintenance works the vessel is in a good technical condition. After
the successful finalization of the drydock period we were able
to deliver the vessel to BBC Chartering & Logistic at satisfying
terms although charter market is presently on a very low level.

On the 2nd June 2012 M/V “Bremer Johanna“ faced
a propulsion breakdown after catching some fishing
nets in the propeller close to the Algerian coast. Due
to the loading condition it was not possible to evaluate
the extent of the damage.
Maintenance of
Vessel Deck / Engine
We would like to put your attention onto M/V BBC Africa which used either a long voyage or
good weather for maintenance jobs on deck outside!
M/V BBC Africa
Unfortunately the wind changed the direction during the
night and the vessel was drifting towards the Algerian
Coast and the tug already ordered could not manage to
arrive in vicinity in time.
The Algerian Authorities began to press the Master for
accepting a Salvage Tug to render assistance. On the
morning of the 3rd our M/V ”Ostermarsch” under the
command of Captain Nemtsov arrived at the position and
established a towing connection within shortest time.
M/V “Bremer Johanna” has been towed about 50 nm
off-shore, where she has been later on picked up by a tug
boat.
Meanwhile she has safely reached Cartagena where the
repairs to the propeller and the other effected parts are
carried out.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to the entire
crew of M/V ”Ostermarsch” for the professional job done.
From the former news and the relevant circulars you might
have noted that similar operations have been carried out
successfully with different ships of our fleet. This has lead
to a high level of reputation among the insurance companies we are dealing with and we are getting more and
more request for such kind of assistance.
In Respect to Engine Maintenance we would like to highlight M/V BBC Neptune with fixed Chief Engineer
Shepotko. The Engine Room is very well serviced and in an excellent condition.
Beside the size of the vessel, their income, sailing schedules and environmental circumstances the ability of the
crew to carry out such an operation is an important factor.
We are appreciating your efforts in training all crew
members with the former provided guidelines as you
never know if you will end up in a similar situation.

We are very impressed by such works and highly appreciate the efforts of the crew in this respect!

Fire Fighting Equipment
In the last Briese News we started to give you some hints
regarding maintenance of certain equipment.
With this information we would like to continue and would
like to draw your attention on the Fire Men’s Equipment.
On board of our fleet we have different types of Fire Men´s
outfit, some have just normal outfits and on some we have
the Full Heat Protection Suit. These can be used for fire fighting directly in the fire for a short time to rescue a person or to
carry out special tasks like closing valves or dampers.
Outer Hull
and Propeller
Condition
Even though exposed to the sea every day, the condition
of outer hull and propeller is oftentimes neglected in every
day operation.
To protect the
Fire Men’s eyes
from harm when
entering the fire
the shield of the
helmet has got
a gold shield
protection
This shield
shall not have
any damage or
defects.
It showed up during Internal Audits on some vessels that these parts are damaged and not in good condition anymore.
As this is part of the safety equipment it should be checked more thoroughly
and any defect shall be reported and a new shield shall be ordered.
For training purpose the shield can be removed easily or if available it
can be exchanged with a clear shield.
In order to survive in the current bunker regime, we want to
give the outer hull and propeller more attention in the future.
We have identified a few locations, where Briese Chartering
can order diver cleaning companies to bring the vessel back
into good condition such as Portland in the English Channel at
affordable cost when there is a chance and the Captains give
us the recommendation to do so.
One vessel taken out of drydock unfortunately showed a very
bad condition of outer hull and propeller and resulted in heavy
speed reductions and high bunker costs for a long time. Only
in drydock, the vessel has been brought back into proper
condition. It has been very minor investment to clean the outer
hull and to polish the propeller to bring back a good running
condition which is good for vessels speed and also good
news for the engine.
Please check your FFE carefully and if any defect occurs please order a new
shield via your Inspection Team.
How it should not be:
Outer Hull: before
after
Propeller: before
after
Please send us some pictures and explanations about the condition of the
vessels hull and propeller when you have the chance to inspect the outer
hull in ballast or in warmer regions or if you are aware of intense fouling on
the hull. We are dependent on your observations! In contrast to other companies, Chartering and Ship-Management is in one hand at Briese/BBC and
therefore please do not hesitate to report unfavorable outer hull conditions
to Briese Chartering and BBC Chartering (operating@briese.de &
operation.leer@bbc-chartering.com) !
