Bernhard Schulte Cruise Services (BSCS), part of BSM, has been awarded its first cruise vessel contract by German cruise ship operator Phoenix Reisen. The newest division of BSM, BSCS, will provide technical management services to MS Albatros in Puerto Limon, Costa Rica.

The Albatros is a 205-metre-long cruise ship and carriers 830 passengers and 340 crew, of which 79 are deck and engine crew under the management of BSM. Often referred to as the ‘White Lady,’ she is over 40 years old, her classic lines and wide promenade deck make her a firm favourite with her passengers.

BSCS is dedicated to maximising passenger safety, comfort and operational reliability through a pool of personnel with many years of experience within the cruise sector.

Les Royle, Managing Director of BSCS, stated, “This is a very proud moment for myself and the Cruise Team. Phoenix Reisen is a well-established player in the German cruise market and we are delighted to be awarded technical management of this fine vessel.”
