Carisbrooke Shipping recently welcomed eight modern, high quality 8000 dead weight tonne general cargo vessels to their commercially-managed fleet.

The company is now in excess of 60 vessels (5000-19,000 dead weight tonne), and with 31 of those vessels in the 6800-8500 dead weight tonne size bracket. The vessels are as follows:

• TIP OSLO 
• TIP COPENHAGEN 
• TIP HELSINKI
• TIP BREMEN 
• TIP STOCKHOLM 
• TIP LEER 
• TIP EMDEN
• CREMONA

Built 2003-2005, with the TIP fleet offering ICE Class 1A flexibility, and an overall balanced mix of both single and tween-deck, geared and gearless vessels, Carisbrooke Shipping believe these new additions will both complement and enhance their existing fleet portfolio and thus offer customers enhanced value.

These additional vessels have been developed in partnership with German and Norwegian owners, and according to James McConachie, chartering director at Carisbrooke Shipping, this is very much part of a drive to both add value, and consolidate a fragmented market.
