[edit] Fleet
The Gearbulk fleet consists of over 70 vessels, most of which are "open hatch gantry craned (OHGC)" vessels.[1] Standardizing on this design makes the vessels interchangeable, and offers operational flexibility.[1]
Gearbulk also operates open hatch jib craned (Fleximax) vessels and several bulk carriers for general bulk cargoes.[1] The company has an extensive newbuilding program.[1]
