Fleet

Our partners in the cement industry – which include the largest corporations in the industry – rightly place great value on the on-time delivery of a clean product. They appreciate the benefits of BALTRADER ships and secure our comprehensive services with long-term volume contracts.

Technical Characteristics

The focus of our strategy is a qualitative growth and the steady modernization of our fleet. Since the MV CEMSEA was commissioned in 1995, BALTRADER has continuously expanded its fleet. Currently selfdischarging cement carriers are operated in the fleet. These closed systems offer our customers decisive advantages in the transport of cement, ground granulated blast furnaced slag and dry fly ash:

  • Clean loading and unloading since cement dust is avoided
  • No contamination or clumping of the cargo due to water ingress or cargo residues
  • Loading and unloading unaffected by weather as a result of closed loading and discharging systems
  • Ability to plan accurately and ensure punctual delivery

With the acquisition of MV CEMISLE in 2009, the largest ship to date at about 6700 t (DWCC) was integrated into the fleet. The average age of all BALTRADER ships is 10,6 years after conversion.

Facts & Figures

Overview of the most important facts and figures about the BALTRADER fleet:

  • Fleet size: Currently twelve specialized cement carriers between 3000-6700 t (DWCC)
  • Average load capacity: Approximately 4445 t (DWCC), opimized for the demands of the current customer base as well as for the current shipping area
  • Average age: About 10,6 years after conversion
  • Equipment: All vessels are equipped with a modern pneumatic selfdischarging system (european technology) which offers significant advantages compared to ordinary conventional bulkcarriers in the field of efficient cement distribution
