Vessel Description

ASAHI is a Capesize bulk carrier built in 2011 by Namura Shipbuilding in Japan, one of the country's leading heavy vessel constructors. With a deadweight of approximately 179,195 tonnes, she operates in the large bulk commodity trades, typically carrying iron ore, coal, and grain on long-haul international routes. Registered under the Cayman Islands flag, she is fitted with a MAN B&W main engine driving a single screw propeller. Her size places her firmly in the Capesize category, meaning she is too large to transit the Suez or Panama Canals in loaded condition and must route around the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn, defining her primary operating corridors across the Pacific and Atlantic ocean basins.
