Advantages and Applications

01
Flexible
CSL’s geared bulk carriers are highly flexible and can be used in a variety of situations. They can operate in ports that do not have shore-based loading and unloading equipment, allowing them to access a wider range of ports.
02
Cost-Efficient
Geared bulk carriers can save costs by eliminating the need for additional handling equipment and reducing the time spent in port. They can load and unload cargo directly from the vessel, which saves time and money.
03
Versatile
Geared bulk carriers can carry a larger variety of cargo due to their ability to load and unload with their own equipment. This can make them a more attractive option for shippers who need to transport different types of cargo.
04
Safe
The use of cranes and other cargo handling equipment on geared bulk carriers can improve safety by reducing the need for manual labour and the risk of accidents.
05
Fast
Geared bulk carriers can load and unload cargo more quickly than traditional bulk carriers, which can result in faster turnaround times and increased efficiency.
