Bulk Carrier

A vessel designed to transport unpackaged bulk cargo. The types of cargo transported on these vessels, include grain, cement, coal, sand, ore, minerals. The majority of bulk carriers usually transport only one type of unpackaged bulk cargo at one time.

Based on their DWT capacity, bulk carriers are divided into three categories: Handysize, with a capacity of 15,000–35,001 DWT, Handymax, with a capacity of 40,000–50,000 DWT, and Supramax, with a capacity of 50,000–60,000 DWT. In general, these kinds of vessels have cranes (geared) so that the loading and unloading process can be completed independently, whereas bulkers without cranes (gearless) can use local port cranes for loading and unloading; the operations are scheduled in advance with the local port authority.

The Waruna Group company PT Asia Mulia Transpasifik currently oversees the operation of bulk carriers. We currently operate 11 bulk carriers, and as there will be a growing need for bulk carrier ships in the future, we are continuing to grow our fleet of bulk carriers by adding more fleets and extending the geographic range of our operations. Our clients come from private parties and state-owned enterprises that have the aim of delivering energy sources, especially to drive and fulfill the energy needs of steam power plants in Indonesia.
