"Supramax" refers to a class of bulk carrier ships that are larger than Handysize vessels but smaller than Panamax ships. Typically, Supramax ships have a deadweight tonnage (DWT) ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 tons. They are designed to transport a variety of bulk cargoes, including coal, grain, and minerals, and are known for their versatility and efficiency in loading and unloading. These ships are equipped with onboard cranes, allowing them to operate in ports without extensive shore facilities. Supramax vessels are popular in the shipping industry due to their ability to access smaller ports and their suitability for various trade routes, making them a vital component of global maritime transport.
