Vessel Description

ALPACA is a Handymax-class bulk carrier built in 2008 at Tsuneishi Shipbuilding in Japan. The vessel is registered under the Chilean flag and has been operated under the CCNI fleet, a major Chilean shipping company with a strong presence in South American trade routes. Designed for the transport of dry bulk commodities such as grain, coal, and minerals, ALPACA is well suited for mid-sized bulk cargo operations across Pacific and Atlantic corridors. The vessel reflects the standard Handymax configuration with five cargo holds and deck-mounted cranes, enabling operations at ports with limited shore-based loading infrastructure.
