Carisbrooke Shipping recently welcomed the following eight modern, high quality 8000 dwt general cargo vessels to their commercially-managed fleet, now in excess of 60 vessels (5-19k dwt), and with 31 of those vessels in the 6800-8500 dwt size bracket.
Built 2003-2008, with the TIP fleet offering ICE Class 1A flexibility, and an overall balanced mix of both single & tween-deck, geared & gearless vessels, Carisbrooke Shipping believe these new additions will both complement and enhance their existing fleet portfolio and thus offer customers enhanced value.
These additional vessels have been developed in partnership with German & Norwegian Owners, and according to James McConachie, Chartering Director at Carisbrooke Shipping, this is very much part of a drive to both add value, and consolidate a fragmented market.
