en.Wedoany.com Reported - CHIPOLBROK Shipping Co., Ltd. (CHIPOLBROK) disclosed the latest progress of its bulk carrier business. Following the deployment of two externally chartered bulk carriers on routes from the Far East and Southeast Asia to North America earlier this year, a third newly chartered bulk carrier has recently completed loading at a Korean port and officially entered service on the North America route. With this "three-ship consecutive launch" through continuous chartering and scheduling actions, CHIPOLBROK's "bulk and breakbulk combined operations" strategy has shifted from business trials to normalized operations.
In terms of capacity allocation and operational rhythm, CHIPOLBROK has established a delivery model featuring multiple vessels rolling deployment and consecutive voyages. In addition to the three vessels currently in service, the company plans to deploy a long-term chartered bulk carrier in mid-April to operate a "westbound" route. This series of bulk carriers primarily handles the transportation needs of "bulk-breakbulk cross-over" cargoes such as steel and general goods. They synergize with the company's existing multipurpose heavy-lift vessel (MPP) liner services, expanding service density on key routes like North America through flexible capacity combinations.
Addressing the technical requirements arising from the vessel type transition, CHIPOLBROK's Shipping Department Cargo Technology Center conducted specialized enhancements to the stowage methods for single-deck bulk carriers. During the execution phase, the technical team clarified service boundaries such as cargo dunnage techniques, stowage plan design, stacking layers, and lashing force points through organizing thematic meetings, ensuring the safety and compliance of single-deck vessels when carrying complex breakbulk cargo.
From a business layout perspective, CHIPOLBROK is not shifting to the main battleground of bulk commodities like iron ore and coal, but rather focusing on "bulk-breakbulk cross-over" cargoes such as steel and general goods. By chartering bulk carriers with suitable tonnage, CHIPOLBROK has addressed the engineering delivery shortcomings in bulk cargo transportation while maintaining its advantages in project cargo transportation for oversized pieces and equipment. This "breakbulk + bulk cargo" combination model further enhances the company's comprehensive delivery capability and capacity utilization efficiency on transoceanic routes by optimizing round-trip cargo matching.
