Vessel Description

The Apia Chief is a Singapore-flagged Handysize bulk carrier built in 2012 by Yangfan Group Co., Ltd. in China. With a deadweight tonnage of approximately 56,842 MT, she falls within the Supramax/Ultramax-adjacent Handymax segment, well suited to regional bulk commodity trades across the Asia-Pacific basin, including the Pacific Islands — as suggested by her name referencing Apia, the capital of Samoa.

Operated under the management of Pacific Basin Shipping Ltd., one of the world's leading owners and operators of Handysize and Supramax bulk carriers headquartered in Hong Kong, the vessel is employed in the tramp trade carrying dry bulk cargoes including agricultural products, minerals, and forest products to ports across the Pacific and broader Asia-Pacific region.

Her Singapore registration reflects Pacific Basin's established fleet management presence in that jurisdiction.
