Vessel Types
NORDEN owns and operates the Capesize, Post-Panamax, Panamax, Handymax and Handysize vessel types. The large dry cargo vessels, Capesize, mainly transport iron ore and coal, while the Post-Panamax and Panamax vessels also carry grain. The Handymax and Handysize vessels additionally transport steel, cement, sugar, fertiliser and other types of cargo. These vessels are typically equipped with cranes, which enables them to operate more independently of port facilities.
