Vessel Description

SANTA BARBARA is a Kamsarmax-class bulk carrier built in 2014 by Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding in China. Operating under the Marshall Islands flag and managed by Star Bulk Carriers Corp., the vessel is designed for the transportation of dry bulk commodities including coal, grain, iron ore, and other bulk cargoes. As a Kamsarmax vessel, she is sized to the maximum dimensions permitted to transit the port of Kamsar in Guinea, a key constraint defining this sub-class of Panamax bulk carriers. The vessel operates across major international trade lanes and is registered under the Star Bulk fleet, one of the largest dry bulk shipping companies globally.
