Vessel Description

OLAVO BILAC is a Handymax/Ultramax-class bulk carrier operating under the Brazilian flag as part of the Vale S.A. controlled fleet. The vessel is engaged primarily in the transportation of dry bulk commodities, most notably iron ore, consistent with Vale's global maritime logistics operations. Built in 2011 at Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy Industries in China, the vessel reflects the standard configuration of modern large bulk carriers deployed on transoceanic routes. The vessel is named after the celebrated Brazilian Parnassian poet Olavo Bilac (1865–1918), consistent with Vale's practice of naming vessels after notable Brazilian historical and cultural figures.
