Vessel Description

The MERITIUS is an ocean-going bulk carrier registered under the flag of the Marshall Islands, with a deadweight tonnage placing her in the Handymax/Panamax segment. Built in 2011 at Tsuneishi Shipbuilding, a highly regarded Japanese shipyard known for quality bulk carrier construction, the vessel is designed for the carriage of dry bulk commodities such as coal, grain, iron ore, and other bulk materials.

With a length of approximately 229 metres and a beam of 32 metres, the vessel is equipped with typical bulk carrier gear including cargo holds and hatches configured for efficient loading and discharge operations. Her single-screw diesel propulsion system provides reliable performance across long oceanic passages.

The vessel's Marshall Islands registration (MMSI prefix 538) is consistent with a commercially operated international trading vessel, likely managed under a third-party ship management arrangement common in the dry bulk sector.
