Our Business

AS A GLOBAL SHIPPING BUSINESS, WE PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES TO A WIDE RANGE OF INDUSTRIES THROUGH OUR COMPANIES, JOINT VENTURES AND OTHER INTERESTS.

Our joint venture company G2 Ocean operates the world’s largest fleet of open hatch gantry crane and jib crane vessels. These are specially designed to transport unitised cargoes such as forest products, non-ferrous metals and steel. G2 Ocean also transports conventional bulk and project cargoes.

Specialist Vessel Configuration

We operate a number of highly specialist vessels for the ocean transportation of cargoes such as liquid pitch, caustic soda, as well as a floating terminal.

Value Added Services

Our services have evolved to meet our customers’ needs. Through our terminals in North America and Brazil – and via strategic relationships with international operators of feeder services, surface transport and other marine services – our extensive supply chain management portfolio adds value.

WE ARE DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING OUR CUSTOMERS WITH THE BEST IN OCEAN TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS.

Our success is built on delivering the most innovative, cost-effective and sustainable transportation services – all customised to each customer’s specific needs.

When Gearbulk started out in 1968, open hatch gantry crane vessel technology was only five years old. This technology offered great promise for operators with the foresight to recognise the benefits of these innovative self-loading and discharge ships in underdeveloped regions. Gearbulk was one of those pioneers. Innovation has been key to our success ever since, often in collaboration with like-minded business partners.

LEADING ON SAFETY. INVESTING IN LEADERSHIP.

Impeccable safety standards and strong leadership are key to providing dependable ocean transportation services. All our employees undergo extensive training in both, underpinning our commitment to exceeding our customers’ expectations.
