Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Statement on Schedule 13D, Amendment 35, 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. 35 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”).

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.

Mr. Hudner and a trust for the benefit of his family own Harbor, a Connecticut corporation.
 
Accordingly, Mr. Hudner and Mr. Williams may be deemed to share voting power and dispositive power of the 2,011,926 Shares and 1,290,257 Shares beneficially owned by NHL and Fundamental, respectively; and, in addition, Mr. Hudner may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power of the 200,000 shares beneficially owned by Harbor.

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 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.

Item 4. Purpose of transaction.
The transactions reported on this Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 35, include the exercise of options to purchase 200,000 Shares and 690 Shares held by Harbor and Fundamental, respectively. BHM transferred an option to purchase 690 shares to Fundamental prior to such exercise.

Dean Investments sold 30,000 Shares for purposes of diversifying investments.
 
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.
