Panamax

Up to 85,000 DWT Deep Sea Bulk

Panamax vessels are ideal for large volume cargoes and long-haul dry bulk trades where scale, freight efficiency and cargo consolidation matter most.

Panamax vessels are highly effective for transporting substantial cargo quantities and are commonly associated with major dry bulk movements. These ships are especially suitable for commodities such as coal, cement, grain and other large-scale cargo stems.

They offer strong commercial efficiency for charterers seeking volume-based transport solutions across international routes.

Supramax

50,000 – 60,000 DWT Versatile Bulk

Supramax tonnage provides a strong balance between cargo capacity and port flexibility, making it a preferred option for many regional and international dry bulk movements.

Supramax ships are widely used for mid-range bulk cargo shipments and offer broader port accessibility than larger vessel classes. They are commonly employed for cargoes such as ores, cement, steel products and agricultural bulk.

This size segment is often ideal where charterers require strong carrying capacity with more flexible loading and discharge possibilities.

Handysize

10,000 – 40,000 DWT Flexible Port Access

Handysize vessels are well suited for smaller cargo parcels and ports with physical or operational limitations, offering valuable flexibility across multiple trades.

Handysize ships are ideal for lighter bulk items such as fertilizers, grain, bagged cargoes and various general cargo movements. Their size supports efficient operations in ports that may not accommodate larger ships.

This segment is especially useful when shipment flexibility, regional access and smaller parcel opportunities are commercially important.

River / MPP / Coaster

1,000 – 10,000 DWT Short Sea & River

River, MPP and Coaster vessels are designed for smaller ports, coastal trade and specialized cargo requirements that need maneuverability and flexibility.

River / MPP / Coaster vessels are highly effective for domestic and regional shipments, coastal movements and project cargoes requiring access to smaller or more challenging locations.

They offer practical solutions for project cargo, smaller dry bulk stems and specialized cargo flows where larger vessel classes are not suitable.

What Adds Value

Why our tonnage approach works in practice.

Selecting the right vessel size is not just about capacity. It is about commercial fit, port access, route logic, cargo handling requirements and the overall efficiency of the voyage. Our tonnage support is shaped around these real market factors so clients receive more than just a vessel option — they receive a workable shipping solution.

Commercial Fit

We focus on matching vessel size to cargo profile, trade economics and customer priorities rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Port Practicality

Draft, berth limitations, loading rate considerations and regional access are all taken into account when proposing tonnage.

Operational Flexibility

Different vessel sizes allow us to support a wide spectrum of dry bulk, breakbulk and project cargo requirements with confidence.

Responsive Follow-Up

We combine vessel knowledge with close communication so clients receive quick and practical feedback for evolving shipping needs.
