BP Shipcare is a wholly owned subsidiary of BP Shipping Limited, which is a member of the BP Group. It was formed in 1975 initially to lay-up its own surplus tonnage but as demand and expertise increased the service was expanded to include other ship owners and operators. BP Shipcare's lay-up site is off the coast of Sabah, Malaysia near to the island of Labuan, in Brunei Bay. The bay was identified as a suitable spot for preserving vessels and rigs since it lies in sheltered waters outside the typhoon belt. The anchorage has good holding ground in 30m of water and a current of no more than half a knot allowing ships to be moored to a single anchor. The lay-up unit can accommodate over 30 vessels at any one time. Since the start of operations in Brunei Bay, BP Shipcare has successfully laid-up and reactivated over 150 different vessels, including tankers, gas carriers, rigs and container ships. The experienced gained over this time enables us tailor the lay-up to suit owner and vessel requirements, ensuring vessels are returned in optimum condition. Typically this involves protection of machinery against static seizure, dehumidification of accommodation and engine room, hull protection via strategically placed anodes and blanking of hull apertures, and appropriate protection for all external deck equipment. Once laid-up, 24 hour on board watch-keeping enables the entire crew to be repatriated providing significant cost savings to owners. Routine maintenance schedules are agreed and regular reports keep owners apprised of vessel's condition. In addition, by liaising with local shipyard facilities, BP Shipcare is able to assist with arrangements for any remedial or refurbishment work that may be required, making efficient use of the period the vessel is in lay-up.

In 1972 we broke ranks with Dahl-Beck Electric (our current parent company) and became incorporated under our current name. In the early days we supplied Dahl-Beck and other marine contractors in the bay area with the marine electrical apparatus essential for the electrical repair and retrofitting on board shipping vessels at the Port of San Francisco. We continued to operate as a specialty marine electrical distributor at 2nd and Howard Street (San Francisco) until 1981 when Bill Beck and George Vaio spearheaded our move to an 18,000 square ft. facility in Emeryville California to better serve the Port of Oakland container vessels and the terminal facilities located there. Today we find ourselves once again under the same roof as our parent company Dahl-Beck Electric where we operate within an even larger 46,000 square ft. and more efficient facility in Richmond California. Over the years we have taken on many industrial lines and have become one of the largest independent electrical distributors in the San Francisco Bay Area. Just last year we acquired Potter Electric of San Francisco which gave us a strong position in both the entertainment and government electrical markets. We are a third generation family owned and operated company with active principals in all three Beck Industry companies. The Beck family prides itself on being reasonable people who care about the history and future of this business, and the extremely dedicated employees who make us shine on a daily basis. Please don't hesitate to call and ask for Bill, Roger, Ray or Ron Beck if you ever have a complaint, concern or special request. We hope you take a few moments and look at our website to further inform yourself on the wide array of specialty items and manufacturers we represent.
