Vessel Description

The Ocean Karadeniz is a small-to-mid-sized general cargo vessel built in 1984, flying the flag of Palau. With a deadweight tonnage of approximately 2,864 DWT and a length of 81.6 metres, she is typical of the aging short-sea trading fleet that operates within the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean regions.

The vessel's name — Karadeniz being the Turkish word for "Black Sea" — reflects her primary operational theater. As a general cargo ship, she is capable of carrying break-bulk and dry cargo. Her age places her among older tonnage still active in regional, short-sea shipping trades.

Her registry under the Palau flag is common among older vessels operating in this region, as open registries offer flexible regulatory environments. AIS tracking data confirms the vessel remains operationally active in regional waters.
