Chief Legal Advisor Ms Vesela Dzhundzhurova said the decision reflects BMF Port Burgas’s relentless pursuit of safety excellence. “As port operations evolve, we invest continually to provide reliable and safe services for our clients.

“ICHCA provides a focal point for informing, educating, lobbying and networking to improve knowledge and best practice across the cargo handling chain. Membership is therefore a logical step.”

ICHCA CEO Richard Steele welcomed the new member, noting BMF Port Burgas’s commitment to improving safety and contributing to best practice across the international maritime supply chain.

Membership provides access to ICHCA’s extensive Technical Library, global networking opportunities and influential advocacy with bodies such as International Maritime Organization and UN Economic Commission for Europe, supporting safer standards today and in the future.
