Vessel Description
The Erasmus Chief is a Supramax bulk carrier built in 2010 at Jiangsu Hantong Ship Heavy Industry in China. With a deadweight of approximately 57,970 DWT, she falls within the Supramax segment — a versatile class of bulk carriers widely used in global commodity trades due to their ability to call at ports with depth restrictions that preclude larger Panamax or Capesize vessels.
The vessel operates under the Panama flag and is engaged in worldwide dry bulk trade, transporting commodities such as grain, coal, iron ore, and similar bulk cargoes. Her dimensions allow access to a wide range of international ports, making her a commercially flexible asset within the global bulk shipping market.
