1. Exceptional Cubic Capacity & Cargo Flexibility (72,689 CBM Grain)
With 72,689 cbm of grain capacity spread across 5 cargo holds, this vessel offers an optimized volume-to-deadweight ratio. It is engineered to carry both high-density mineral cargoes (such as iron ore and concentrates) and low-density agricultural bulk (such as grain, soybeans, corn, wheat, and wood pellets) without sacrificing draft efficiency or stowage factors.
- 5 Holds / 5 Hatches Architecture: Enables flexible cargo segregation, multi-port loading/discharging, and swift cargo hold washing/preparation between diverse commodity runs.
- Bale Capacity of 70,122 CBM: Designed with clean, unobstructed structural lines to accommodate breakbulk, unitized freight, forestry products, and steel coils efficiently.
2. High-Efficiency Self-Sustained Gear (4 x 30t Cranes)
Equipped with four heavy-duty 30-tonne deck cranes, this vessel provides complete operational independence from shore side infrastructure.
- Geared Autonomy: Highly advantageous for discharging at shallow ports, river terminals, anchorages, and non-geared ports throughout West Africa, Southeast Asia, South America, and the Caribbean.
- High Discharge & Loading Rates: Designed for rapid cycle times, minimizing laytime exposure and port turnaround costs for charterers.
3. Proven Main Propulsion & Auxiliary Power Reliability
Powered by a robust MAN B&W 6S50MC-C engine generating 11,421 BHP at 113 RPM, this vessel combines proven marine engineering with reliable service speed and fuel consumption profiles across varied sea states.
- Generator Redundancy: Supported by three 460 kW auxiliary generators, providing ample power for continuous 4-crane cargo operations, ballast pumping, and hotel loads without overload risks.
4. Long Survey Runway & Japanese Build Quality
Constructed at Tsuneishi Heavy Industries, one of the premier bulk carrier builders globally, the vessel benefits from structural integrity, hydrodynamic efficiency, and high resale/charter market reputation.
- Class NK Certified: Maintains rigorous standards set by Nippon Kaiji Kyokai.
- Minimized Dockyard Downtime: With Special Survey (SS) valid until August 2030 and Drydocking (DD) not due until July 2028, charterers benefit from uninterrupted operational availability, eliminating near-term off-hire risks caused by scheduled drydockings.
Strategic Applications Across Global Commodity Trade Routes
This ~58k DWT Supramax carrier is ideal for navigating key global bulk trade corridors, including:
- South American Agricultural Export Routes (East Coast South America to Far East): Optimized draft (12.83m) and massive grain cubic capacity make it a prime asset for Panamax-alternative grain liftings out of the Santos, Paranaguá, and Up-River Argentina ports.
- Indonesian & Australian Coal & Mineral Trades: Self-sustaining 30t cranes allow smooth lightering and barge loading operations across Indonesian anchorages.
- Trans-Atlantic & US Gulf Grain/Petcoke Run: Perfectly suited for Panama Canal transit, US Gulf exports, and Mediterranean/Continent delivery.
- Intra-Asian & Indian Ocean Steel/Breakbulk/Fertilizer Trades: Flexible hold layouts ensure rapid loading of bagged cargoes, bulk fertilizers, and steel products.
