Vessel Description

WHITE BAY is a Handymax-class dry bulk carrier built in 2003 at Tsuneishi Shipbuilding in Japan. Operating under the Hong Kong flag and managed by Pacific Basin Bulk Shipping, the vessel is designed for the transportation of dry bulk commodities including grain, coal, and minerals. As a Handymax bulk carrier, she is equipped with her own cargo gear, providing flexibility to operate across ports with varying shore-based infrastructure. The vessel has been engaged primarily in transpacific and intra-Asian bulk trades, consistent with Pacific Basin's operational focus on smaller bulk carrier segments throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
