Vessel Description

This vessel is a Panamax-class bulk carrier built in 2003 at the Tsuneishi Shipbuilding facility in Japan, a yard recognized for constructing reliable bulk carriers to international standards. With a deadweight of approximately 74,381 tonnes, the vessel falls within the conventional Panamax bulk carrier segment, designed to transit the Panama Canal. The vessel is configured for the carriage of dry bulk commodities including grain, coal, ore, and similar cargo types. The hull and structural configuration are typical of early 2000s Japanese-built bulk carriers, reflecting sound engineering and compliance with applicable SOLAS and MARPOL regulations at time of construction.
