Vessel Description

VISTA 9 is an ocean-going bulk carrier registered under the Indian flag and operated within international shipping routes, primarily serving bulk commodity trades in the Indian Ocean and Asia-Pacific regions. As a Handymax-class bulk carrier, the vessel is designed for the transportation of dry bulk commodities including grain, coal, and ore. Built in 2001 at Tsuneishi Shipbuilding in Japan, the vessel reflects standard Handymax bulk carrier design characteristics of that era, with multiple cargo holds and deck-mounted cranes suited for self-loading and unloading operations at ports with limited infrastructure. The vessel operates under the oversight of the Indian Register of Shipping and is associated with the Shipping Corporation of India, one of India's largest state-owned shipping enterprises.
