The Company owns a total of 18 open hatch general cargo vessels. Its fleet operates in the drybulk segment and is involved in the transportation of unitised, bulk cargo and break bulk cargo worldwide, specialising in bale pulp and forestry products, steel products, and project cargo.
The technical management of these vessels is outsourced to Zeaborn Ship Management (Singapore) Pte Ltd and Westfal-Larsen Management AS. The commercial management is performed by Pool Manager Saga Welco AS, in Tenvik, Norway, which is a joint venture along with Saga Shipholding (Norway) AS.
