Vessel Description

KARMATE is a Turkish-flagged general cargo vessel built in 1982, classified as a small short-sea trader. With a gross tonnage of 1,299 GT and a deadweight of approximately 2,100 DWT, the vessel operates within regional coastal and short-sea shipping routes common to Turkish commercial fleets. The vessel is typical of the older generation of single-deck cargo ships that continue to serve regional bulk and general cargo trades in the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean corridors. Given its age and size, the vessel is characteristic of smaller Turkish coastal traders engaged in breakbulk and dry cargo operations.
