Vessel Description

The Celtic Forester is a short-sea general cargo vessel operating within the Northwestern European coastal trade network. Built in 2003 at Santierul Naval Drobeta in Romania, she is operated by Celtic Sea Transport Ltd under the UK flag. The vessel is well suited to the coastal and short-sea bulk and general cargo trades typical of the Irish Sea and North Sea corridors, serving ports across the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the near-continent. Her dimensions make her suitable for calls at smaller regional and secondary ports that are inaccessible to larger bulk carriers, providing an important link in the regional supply chain for dry bulk and break-bulk commodities.
