About Geared Vessels

Geared vessels are characterised by their own loading equipment. The Handysize
market segment is 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.
