Bermuda has relied on BCL for its shipping service for over three and a half decades/well over thirty years.  In order to continue to meet the demands of today’s market and to maintain the fast, efficient service for which BCL is known, we needed to execute a plan to bring online an updated, upgraded vessel.  The new ship will be the most technologically-advanced vessel serving Bermuda. It will be outfitted to carry dry and refrigerated containers, trucks, cars and other wheeled equipment, along with over-sized project cargo.

The vessel will be equipped with fuel-efficient main and auxiliary engines as well as leading-edge loading and cargo carrying capability.  Further, as we think about long-term sustainability and environmental responsibility, we have ensured that the new ship will incorporate the capability to convert to liquid natural gas (LNG) operation, which many see as a game-changer for shipping in the future.

We are making this investment, and designing this vessel, with all our Bermudian customers in mind. Investing in a world-class, high-performing shipping service is investing in the future of Bermuda. Residents and businesses alike will benefit from the cost efficiencies and features designed into this ship.
