Commodities We Transport

We specialise in transporting by sea a broad range of bulk commodities, including:

Our Business

• We operate an efficient and young fleet of vessels which are on average less than seven years old.
• Our expanding fleet comprise owned and chartered ships giving us a fleet size which offers scale and a high degree of operational flexibility
• We operate most of these vessels through Pacific Basin Handysize and Pacific Basin Handymax which we established in 2001 and 2006 and through which we have established a reputation as the leading provider of handysize and handymax freight services directly to major commodity companies
• Our Handysize and Handymax vessels are shallow drafted and equipped with onboard cranes, allowing them to serve many ports that other ship types cannot service due to size and cargo-handling restrictions
• Our chartering teams specialise in offering freight services to customers ranging from spot charters to multi-year contracts of affreightment, and are dedicated to providing a service with first class performance and reliability. We operate one of the largest fleets in the world of modern handysize and handymax bulk carriers, to ensure the ideal vessel is provided for our customers' requirements.
• We introduced two other core businesses in 2008. PB RoRo has started the process of securing employment for its newbuildings on order. Pacific Basin's towage, PacMarine and offshore support activities, under the banner of PB Energy and Infrastructure, are expanding rapidly.

With a primary focus on dry bulk transport in the Asia Pacific Region, they have a comprehensive knowledge of the market and expertise in areas such as chartering, vessel operations, technical management and crewing, vessel sale and purchase, shipbuilding and repair, finance and insurance.
