Vessel Description

REGULUS is a Panamax-class bulk carrier built in 1997 at Tsuneishi Shipbuilding in Japan. With a deadweight of approximately 73,519 tonnes, the vessel operates within the conventional Panamax size envelope, making her compatible with Panama Canal transits. She is designed for the carriage of dry bulk commodities including grain, coal, iron ore, and other similar cargo types. The vessel features a typical single-deck, multiple-hold configuration standard to bulk carriers of her era and size class, with deck-mounted cranes or gear suited for self-sustaining cargo operations at ports with limited shoreside infrastructure.
