Gearbulk Holding Limited is an international shipping company headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda.[1] The company operates the world's largest fleet of open hatch gantry and semi-open jib craned vessels.[1] These vessels specialise in carrying unitised breakbulk cargoes like forest products, non-ferrous metals, and steel.[1] The company also has a revenue stream in terminal operations.[1]
Gearbulk was founded by Kristian Gerhard Jebsen of Bergen, Norway in 1968.[1][3]
Fleet
The Gearbulk fleet consists of over 70 vessels, most of which are "open hatch gantry craned (OHGC)" vessels.[1] Standardising on this design makes the vessels interchangeable, and offers operational flexibility.[1]
Gearbulk also operates open hatch jib craned (Fleximax) vessels and several bulk carriers for general bulk cargoes.[1] The company has an extensive new building programme.[1]
In March 2012 Gearbulk controversially informed over 350 Scandanavian, British, Croatian and Polish sea-going employees that they were to be replaced with Asian seafarers by early 2013 citing weak markets as the principal reason.[1]
