Vessel Description
PACIFIC CREATION is a Capesize bulk carrier registered under the Hong Kong, China flag, managed and operated by Pacific Basin Shipping Ltd, one of Asia's leading dry bulk shipping companies headquartered in Hong Kong.
Built in 2010 at Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy Industries in China, the vessel has a deadweight capacity of approximately 179,701 DWT, placing her firmly in the Capesize category — vessels too large to transit the Panama or Suez Canals in most loaded conditions and therefore typically routed around the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn.
The vessel primarily transports bulk dry commodities such as iron ore, coal, and grain on long-haul international voyages, consistent with the typical employment profile of large Capesize bulk carriers operating in the global spot and period charter markets.
Disclaimer: This profile is based on publicly available maritime registry and AIS data. Some technical specifications may be approximate. Users should verify critical operational data through official sources such as Lloyd's Register, DNV, or the vessel's flag state authority.
