Vessel Description

HAI XIANG 8 is a general cargo vessel built in Japan in 1986, registered under the flag of Vanuatu. With a deadweight of approximately 4,206 tonnes and a length of 89.9 metres, the vessel is sized for regional short-sea and coastal trade operations. The vessel is consistent in profile with aging single-deck general cargo tonnage commonly deployed across Asia-Pacific trading routes, handling break-bulk and general cargo consignments. As a vessel of its era, it reflects conventional Japanese shipbuilding standards of the mid-1980s for small-to-medium coastal cargo carriers.
