Products and Services

• Dry Bulk Carriers:

  OceanPal Inc. owns and operates a fleet of dry bulk carriers, which are specialized ships designed for the transportation of unpackaged bulk cargo. This fleet includes:

  • Panamax Vessels: These are medium-sized ships that are optimized for passing through the Panama Canal, reducing travel time and fuel consumption for routes that benefit from this passage. OceanPal Inc. has three of these versatile carriers in its fleet.
  • Capesize Vessels: Larger than Panamax, Capesize ships are so named because they are too large to transit through the Suez or Panama Canals and must instead travel around the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn. OceanPal Inc. operates two Capesize vessels, catering to high-volume long-haul routes.
• Transportation of Major and Minor Bulks:

  The company specializes in the transportation of both major and minor bulk commodities, including but not limited to:

  • Major Bulks: This category includes critical raw materials such as iron ore, which is essential for steel-making; coal, which is a primary source of energy; and grains, which are vital for global food supply.
  • Minor Bulks: These include commodities like bauxite and phosphate, which are used in aluminum production and fertilizer respectively, among others. Transporting these materials plays a crucial role in various global industries.
