Vessel Description

ATLANTIC STAR is an aging single-deck bulk carrier constructed in 1977 at Namura Shipbuilding in Japan. With a deadweight of approximately 44,160 tonnes, the vessel falls within the Handymax bulk carrier category. Given her 1977 build year, she represents an older generation of bulk carriers designed for the carriage of dry bulk commodities such as grain, coal, ore, and similar bulk cargoes. Vessels of this class and age are subject to enhanced port state control inspections and increased scrutiny under international maritime conventions due to their operational age.
