Handysize Geared Bulk Carriers are widely regarded as the ultimate multi-tools of the global dry bulk shipping market, capable of accessing smaller ports and self-discharging cargo. To understand why their maintenance is so crucial, you first have to look at their impressive versatility and operational demands:
✅ Deadweight Tonnage (DWT) 25,000 – 40,000 MT
✅ Length Overall (LOA) 150 – 180 m
✅ Beam 25 – 30 m
✅ Cargo Capacity 30,000 – 50,000 m³
✅ Design Single-deck with 4-5 Cargo Holds & Onboard Deck Cranes
When these highly adaptable vessels undergo their Special Surveys, dry docking isn't just about compliance…it is a critical opportunity to optimize the ship's structural integrity and cargo-handling performance! Thankfully, we know how to handle these robust workhorses.
