Vessel Description

GREAT BALBOA is an aging Panamax-class bulk carrier constructed in Japan in 1963 by Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries, one of Japan's prominent shipbuilders of that era. As a vessel of mid-20th century construction, she represents the early generation of large bulk carriers designed to carry dry bulk commodities such as grain, coal, and ore. Registered under the Panama flag, she operates within international trade routes. Her deadweight capacity of approximately 43,380 DWT places her within the conventional bulk carrier segment. Given her age, she is among the oldest vessels of her class still recorded in maritime registries.
