Vessel Description

CENTAURUS is a Kamsarmax-class bulk carrier built in 2009 at Sasebo Heavy Industries in Japan. Designed for the transportation of dry bulk commodities including coal, grain, and iron ore, the vessel operates across major international shipping routes. As a Kamsarmax vessel, her dimensions are optimized to transit the Port of Kamsar in Guinea, West Africa, which imposes a maximum beam restriction. The vessel sails under the Liberian flag and is managed within the Pacific Basin fleet, operating predominantly in the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean trade corridors. She maintains full GMDSS compliance and carries active AIS transmissions consistent with Class A transponder standards applicable to vessels of her size and trading pattern.
