Help and Advice / Mini Bulk Carriers Crossing the Atlantic
« on: March 03, 2024, 03:41:28 AM »
Thank you for accepting me to this forum. I have had a lifelong passion for boating and maritime history. Anyways, I had a question about the size of the size of bulk carriers used to cross oceans over the last decade. Obviously ships have gotten bigger over the years, but I have a questions about the smaller ships still used to cross oceans.
What are the smallest oceangoing bulk carriers known to cross the Atlantic, say from Europe to the US east coast and visa versa? I am wondering specifically about the bulk carriers transporting grain. Are there any 10,000 DWAT bulk carriers regularly crossing the Atlantic? If not, is it because of insurance, operating costs or is it something else?
Thank you in advance.
