As an Ultramax-class vessel, YASA LOTUS offers enhanced cargo flexibility with her 5-hold, 5-hatch configuration and a deadweight capacity of approximately 81,838 metric tons, making her suitable for a wide range of port infrastructure worldwide, including those with draft restrictions that preclude larger Capesize vessels.
