Vessel Description

TALHA-MAR is a Panamax/Kamsarmax-class bulk carrier operating under the Brazilian flag, built in 2010 at Sungdong Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in South Korea. The vessel is part of the Vale S.A. fleet, one of the world's largest iron ore producers and maritime operators. Designed for the transportation of dry bulk commodities, primarily iron ore, the vessel operates extensively on long-haul transoceanic routes connecting Brazilian export terminals with Asian steel-producing markets. As a Brazilian-flagged vessel with an IMO number assigned under the 2009–2010 construction period, TALHA-MAR reflects the significant fleet expansion undertaken by Vale S.A. to support its vertically integrated logistics chain during that era.
