About Geared Vessels
Geared vessels are characterised by their own cargo loading equipment. The
Handysize and Supra/Ultramax market segments are particularly attractive,
given the flexibility, versatility and port accessibility of these vessels
which carry necessity goods - principally food and products related to
infrastructure building - ensuring broad diversification of fleet activity and
stability of earnings through the cycle.
