A new commercial operator of bulkers is launching in Copenhagen that marks big changes at BW Dry, the bulker-owning arm of Singapore's BW Group.

Copenhagen Commercial Platform (CCP) launched on 1 April and aims to connect shipowners with charterers that are both looking to improve their environmental footprint.

Christian Bonfils, who has been BW Dry's managing director for the past five years, is heading up the new platform and will take the company's seven staff with him.
