Gearbulk Holding Limited is an international shipping company headquartered in Pfäffikon, Switzerland. [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] and took over the Dublin Shipping company in 1998. [4]
Fleet
As of October 2014, the Gearbulk fleet consisted of 64 vessels, most of which were "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]
On 2 January 2015, the MS Bulk Jupiter sank off the coast of Vũng Tàu, Vietnam. [5]
