Cargo & Vessel Segments
Marcenta doesn’t own or operate tonnage — we’re brokers. Whatever you’re moving, we charter the right size vessel against it in the open market, from a 1,000 DWT coaster to a 220,000 DWT Capesize. Filter below to see typical cargo, trade lanes and specifications by class.
Shallow-draft, often geared tonnage built for ports and river berths that larger ships can’t reach — bagged cement, fertiliser, timber and project cargo in short-sea and regional trades.
The most flexible size in the fleet — geared for self-loading and discharge at ports with limited shore infrastructure. Common in minor bulk, grain, forest products and steel.
The workhorse of the dry bulk fleet. Geared and self-sufficient, Supramax and Ultramax tonnage covers grain, coal, minerals and bagged cargo across almost every trade lane in the world.
Sized to the historical Panama Canal locks (Kamsarmax slightly larger, built for the Guinea bauxite trade), this class dominates the long-haul coal, grain and mineral routes.
Purpose-built for iron ore and coal in bulk, moving the largest single cargoes in dry bulk shipping across the major ocean trades — Brazil–China, West Africa–China, Australia–Asia. Newcastlemax tonnage is sized to the beam and draft limits of the Port of Newcastle.
