Asian dry bulk owners take the lead in accepting containers on deck
Sep, 03, 2021 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 202135
Swire Bulk is among the confirmed first dry bulk owners to be actively moving containers on its dedicated fleet of bulk carriers, with a host of other well known names in the sector looking to follow suit.
“It’s obviously less efficient to stow containers on a bulk vessel, but it can provide critical supply chain support for shippers that have urgent requirements,” commented Rob Aarvold, general manager at Swire Bulk, in confirming today news that some of Swire’s bulk carriers are now moving containers.
Another Asian owner, Pacific Basin, is also now offering some box shipments on its handy fleet, sources in Hong Kong tell Splash.
Meanwhile, Ulrik Andersen, the CEO of Oslo-based Golden Ocean Group, speaking with Splash yesterday confirmed that his company is looking at moving containers on some of the company’s 83 ships.
