Bulker vessel

Forward thinking in fuel efficiency and vessel lifecycle management

Bulker vessel owners face fluctuating freight rates, environmental regulations, and rising operational costs. Our integrated automation and control systems can streamline operations for maximum operational efficiency and reduced costs. Meanwhile, our energy management systems provide real-time data on emissions and energy performance. We have developed super-efficient bulker designs able to deliver fuel savings up to 50%.  

Powering performance with proven advantages: 

  • Super-efficient Kamsarmax designs that cut MGO use by up to with 50% 
  • Integrated systems and solutions that reduce Opex
  • Wind-assist solutions and installation for any operational profile
  • Global support services covering the full lifecycle of your vessel
