Gearbulk Holding Limited is an international shipping company headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda.[1] The company operates the world's largest fleet of open hatch gantry and semi-open jib craned vessels.[1] These vessels specialise in carrying unitised breakbulk cargoes like forest products, non-ferrous metals, and steel.[1] The company also has a revenue stream in terminal operations.[1]
Gearbulk was founded by Kristian Gerhard Jebsen of Bergen, Norway in 1968,[1][3] and took over the Dublin Shipping company in 1998.[4]
Fleet
As of October 2014, the Gearbulk fleet consists of 64 vessels, most of which are "open hatch gantry craned (OHGC)" vessels.[1] Standardising 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]
Early 2015 Gearbulk lost the MS Bulk Jupiter when it sank off the coast of Vietnam.[5]
