Gearbulk Holding Limited is an international shipping company headquartered in Pfäffikon, Switzerland. The company operates the world's largest fleet of open hatch gantry and semi-open jib craned vessels. These vessels specialise in carrying unitised breakbulk cargoes like forest products, non-ferrous metals, and steel. The company also has a revenue stream in terminal operations.
Gearbulk was founded by Kristian Gerhard Jebsen of Bergen, Norway in 1968, and took over the Dublin Shipping company in 1998.
Fleet
As of October 2014, the Gearbulk fleet consisted of 64 vessels, most of which were "open hatch gantry craned (OHGC)" vessels. Standardising on this design makes the vessels interchangeable, and offers operational flexibility. Gearbulk also operates open hatch jib craned (Fleximax) vessels and several bulk carriers for general bulk cargoes.
On 2 January 2015, the MS Bulk Jupiter sank off the coast of Vũng Tàu, Vietnam.
