Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Statement on Schedule 13D, Amendment 34, relates to the shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), of B+H Ocean Carriers Ltd., a Liberian corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 14 Par La Ville Place, 3rd Floor, Hamilton HMO8, Bermuda.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Amendment No. 34 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D previously filed by Michael S. Hudner, Trevor J. Williams, Devonport Holdings Ltd. (“Devonport”), B+H/Equimar 95 Associates, L.P. (“Equimar 95”), Fundamental Securities International Ltd. (“Fundamental”), and Northhampton Holdings, Ltd. (“NHL”) with respect to the Shares. The reporting persons filing this amendment also include B+H Management Ltd. (“BHM”), Harbor Holdings Corp. (“Harbor”), Anthony Dalzell and Dean Investments Ltd. (“Dean Investments”).

Devonport is a British Virgin Islands corporation and is a general partner of Hamilton Holdings Company (“Hamilton”), a limited partnership which is the majority shareholder of Equimar Holdings, Ltd. (“Equimar Holdings”). Mr. Hudner is a general partner of Hamilton.

Equimar 95 is a Marshall Islands limited partnership whose general partner is B+H Equimar 95 Inc., a Liberian corporation (“B+H Equimar 95”). As the general partner, B+H Equimar 95 controls Equimar 95 and the limited partners of Equimar 95 have no rights to influence directly or indirectly the policy decisions of B+H Equimar 95. Mr. Williams is both President and director of Equimar 95. B+H Equimar 95 is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Equimar Holdings.

Fundamental, a British Virgin Islands corporation, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equimar Holdings. Mr. Williams is both president and director of Fundamental, and Mr. Hudner is a general partner of Hamilton which is, indirectly, the parent of Fundamental. Equimar 95 and Fundamental hold 60.6% and 30.3% of the shares of the common stock of NHL, respectively.

Mr. Hudner is a 45% shareholder, a director and President of BHM, a Bermuda corporation. Mr. Williams is a 20% shareholder and a vice president of BHM. BHM owns options to purchase 690 Shares of the Issuer.

Mr. Hudner and a trust for the benefit of his family own Harbor, a Connecticut corporation. Harbor owns options to purchase 200,000 Shares.

Accordingly, Mr. Hudner and Mr. Williams may be deemed to share voting power and dispositive power of the 2,011,926 and 1,289,567 Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by NHL and Fundamental, respectively and the 200,000 Shares and 690 Shares issuable upon exercise of options and beneficially owned by Harbor and BHM, respectively.

Anthony Dalzell is a beneficial owner of Dean Investments, a Cayman Islands corporation. Mr. Dalzell and Dean Investments executed a Voting Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2006 (the “Voting Agreement”), with the other reporting persons and accordingly became members of the group filing this Schedule 13D. Under the Voting Agreement, Mr. Dalzell and Dean Investments agreed to vote Shares of the Issuer as determined by the majority in interest of the reporting persons. Accordingly, Mr. Hudner and Mr. Williams may be deemed to share voting power of the Shares beneficially owned by Dean Investments.

None of the reporting persons has (i) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which he or it was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws of finding any violation with respect to such laws or (ii) been convicted in a criminal proceeding in the past five years (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
BHM used its working capital to exercise an option.

Item 4. Purpose of transaction.
One of the transactions reported on this Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 34, was the exercise of options to purchase 30,770 Shares. In addition, Mr. Dalzell and Dean Investments executed the Voting Agreement with the other reporting persons and accordingly became members of the group filing this Schedule 13D. Under the Voting Agreement, Mr. Dalzell and Dean Investments agreed to vote Shares of the Issuer as determined by the majority in interest of the reporting persons. Dean Investments and Mr. Hudner reserve the right to terminate the Voting Agreement. The Voting Agreement does not affect the right of any of the parties thereto to dispose of Shares of the Issuer at any time. The Issuer may be deemed a controlled company under the rules of the American Stock Exchange and accordingly may not be subject to certain governance rules. Messrs. Hudner, Williams and Dalzell currently serve as directors and officers of the Issuer and intend to continue to participate in the management of the Company.

VOTING AGREEMENT

This Voting Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as of the 29th day of September, 2006, by and among certain beneficial owners, as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Common Holders”), of the Common Stock (the “Common Stock) of B+H Ocean Carriers Ltd. (“B+H” or the “Company”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, in order to induce the other Common Holders to enter into this Agreement, and for other consideration, the Common Holders have entered into this Agreement regarding the voting of the Common Stock acquired or beneficially owned by any Common Holder, including without limitation any shares of capital stock of the Company that may be issued upon exercise of any rights, warrants or options to purchase, or other securities convertible into, capital stock of B+H and any rights, warrants or options to purchase, or other securities convertible into such capital stock (collectively, with the Common Stock, the "B+H Securities");

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties and the Company hereby agree as follows:

1. EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall be effective as of September 29, 2006 (the "Effective Date").

2. AGREEMENT TO VOTE. (a) In connection with all actions submitted for approval, written consent or a vote of the holders of the Common Stock from time to time, each Common Holder shall vote all of such Common Holder's B+H Securities (or grant or withhold approval or consent) in the same manner as the majority of B+H Securities voted on such matter by the Common Holders.

(b) Each Common Holder shall be present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of holders of Common Stock so that all B+H Securities owned of record or beneficially owned by such Common Holder may be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings.

(c) Nothwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each party shall have the right to acquire or dispose of any Common Stock without consulting the other Common Holders.

3. AFFILIATES. In the event any Affiliate of a Common Holder acquires any Common Stock during the term of this Agreement, such Common Holder agrees to use its best efforts to cause such Affiliate to become a party to this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, an "Affiliate" of a Common Holder shall be a person that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Common Holder.

4. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) notice of termination from Michael Hudner, a Common Holder, and (b) notice of termination from Dean Investments Ltd., a Common Holder.

5. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMMON HOLDERS. Each Common Holder hereby represents and warrants that such Common Holder (a) owns beneficially and has the right to vote the Common Stock set forth opposite such Common Holder's name on Schedule 1, (b) such Common Holder has full power to enter into this Agreement, and (c) such Common Holder will not take any action inconsistent with the purposes and provisions of this Agreement.

6. ENFORCEABILITY; REMEDIES. The Company and each Common Holder shall take any and all actions necessary for the enforceability of this Agreement under Liberia law, including without limitation necessary filings or actions, if any, required by applicable Liberia corporate law. Each of the Company and each Common Holder expressly agrees that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with its terms including, without limitation, the right to entry of restraining orders and injunctions, whether preliminary, mandatory, temporary, or permanent, against a violation, threatened or actual, and whether or not continuing, of such obligation, without the necessity of showing any particular injury or damage, and without the posting of any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach would cause immediate and irreparable injury and that money damages alone would not provide an adequate remedy.

7. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a) All of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the respective parties and their successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives, as the case may be.

(b) This Agreement, and the rights of the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to a contract made and to be performed in New York, New York.

(c) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(d) If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared void or unenforceable by any court or administrative board of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed to have been severed from the remainder of the Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue in all respects to be valid and enforceable.

(e) Whenever the context of this Agreement shall so require, the use of the singular number shall include the plural and the use of any gender shall include all genders.

(f) All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given or made (a) when personally delivered to the intended recipient (or an officer of the intended recipient) or when sent by facsimile (with a confirmation received by the sender); (b) on the second business day after the date sent when sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service; or (c) five business days after it is sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address set forth on Schedule 1 annexed hereto. Any party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other parties notice in the manner herein set forth.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Voting Agreement as of the date first above written. Execution of this Voting Agreement constitutes execution and delivery of the Joint Filing Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
