Activities

In dry cargo, NORDEN is an internationally recognised shipowner and operator and is active in all major vessel types. NORDEN is one of the world’s largest operators of Handymax and Panamax dry cargo vessels and has growing activities in the Handysize, Post-Panamax and Capesize vessel types. The Company's Handysize and Post-Panamax activities are operated commercially by NORDEN Handysize Pool and NORDEN Post-Panamax Pool, respectively, which also operate vessels from Interorient Navigation Company Ltd. (INC), Cyprus.

Fleet

A modern fleet combined with professional and experienced staff ensures that NORDEN is able to provide its customers with competitive and reliable transportation of bulk commodities world-wide. Customer satisfaction is our most important objective.

NORDEN operates a modern quality bulk fleet. The fleet consists of long-term chartered and owned vessels as well as vessels taken on for short term time charters. In total NORDEN operates 120  dry cargo vessels (excluding single trip chartered vessels) through a mix of owned and chartered tonnage.

Commodities

The commodities carried include coal, cement/cement clinker, alumina, fertilizer, grain, petcoke, sugar, wheat and steels. In the Handymax segment most vessels are equipped with cranes and grabs, which ensure maximum flexibility for self-handling of cargoes in areas where port facilities are insufficient.

Newbuildings

A newbuilding programme of 18 dry cargo vessels over the coming years, placed by NORDEN with some of the world's leading shipyards ensures that NORDEN is continuing its long-term dedication to the dry cargo segment in the years to come.
