Based in the strategic maritime hub of San Roque, Spain, BHS Ship Services operates as a comprehensive marine supplier and logistics partner for vessels transiting the Strait of Gibraltar and beyond. Established with a foundation of extensive industry expertise, the company functions primarily as a ship chandler and service integrator, catering to the diverse needs of merchant vessels, offshore units, and commercial fleets. While its headquarters are located near the Port of Algeciras—one of the busiest maritime chokepoints in the world—the company has expanded its operational footprint to cover a vast network of ports throughout the Iberian Peninsula and key international locations.
The core of the company’s operations revolves around general ship supply, ensuring that vessels receive necessary provisions, bonded stores, and technical equipment without operational delays. BHS Ship Services manages the entire supply chain for these requisitions, from sourcing high-quality food and beverages to procuring specialized engine and deck stores. Beyond simple supply, the company has developed a robust logistics division capable of handling complex spare parts deliveries. This includes customs clearance, warehousing, and the "last mile" transport of critical ship spares to vessels alongside or at anchorage.
Complementing its chandlery and logistics capabilities, BHS Ship Services provides a wide array of technical and repair solutions. The company coordinates specialized underwater works, including hull cleaning, propeller polishing, and underwater welding or cutting, allowing vessels to maintain efficiency without dry-docking. Their technical teams also manage motor rewinding, anchor and chain maintenance, and general deck repairs.
Geographically, while the company’s primary influence remains centered on the Strait of Gibraltar ports of Algeciras and Gibraltar, its service network extends to major Spanish hubs such as Las Palmas, Valencia, Bilbao, and Barcelona. Furthermore, the company facilitates services in select international ports, including Rotterdam and locations in Portugal and Malta, leveraging a network of partners to maintain service continuity. By integrating agency services, crew change support, and technical repairs into a single operational framework, BHS Ship Services functions as a versatile support node for shipowners and managers navigating the complex logistics of the Mediterranean and Atlantic shipping routes.
