Vessel Description
NEW CONSTANT is a Capesize bulk carrier registered under the flag of Hong Kong, China, with IMO number 9708514. Built in 2015 at Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. (DSIC) in China, the vessel is designed for the carriage of major dry bulk commodities such as iron ore, coal, and grain in large quantities across deep-sea international trade routes.
With a deadweight of approximately 181,415 tonnes and a length overall of 292 metres, the vessel falls within the classic Capesize category, meaning it is too large to transit the Suez or Panama Canals in standard configuration and typically navigates around the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn. Her considerable carrying capacity makes her well-suited for long-haul bulk commodity trades between major exporting nations (Brazil, Australia) and importing hubs primarily in East Asia.
The vessel operates under a single-screw diesel propulsion arrangement, consistent with modern fuel-efficient Capesize designs of her generation.
