Gearbulk Holding Limited is an international shipping company headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda.[1] The company operates world`s largest fleet of open hatch gantry and semi-open jib craned vessels[1] These vessels specialize 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] Standardizing 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 newbuilding program.[1]
