Our newbuilding program for around 100 fuel-efficient bulk carriers means that about 90% of the capacity of our owned fleet now consists of vessels designed to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions compared to conventional ships.
We usually operate a diversified fleet of some 700 bulk carriers at any one time. To supplement our chartered fleet, we will always maintain a sizeable number of fully-owned vessels. We invest in strategic assets for our core fleet. As the objective is to increase our net worth, we prefer to buy and sell counter-cyclically. Since 1980 alone, we have concluded around 700 deals for buying or selling of ships.
We ordered around 100 “eco” newbuildings in China, Korea and Japan for delivery from 2014 onwards. The new vessels feature very low fuel consumption and a significantly reduced carbon footprint.
Now, fuel-efficient vessels designed to reduce emissions and optimize energy use make up about 90% of the capacity of our owned fleet. Additionally, most of our long-term chartered ships are eco-efficient models.
For our transshipment trades, we own and operate a large fleet of transloaders, transshipment platforms, floating cranes, barges, tugs, crew boats and other equipment.
We are currently the largest user of index chartered vessels and typically have between 150 and 180 vessels of all sizes on such floating charter TC or BB contracts (including newbuildings to come).
Since 2013, we have ordered around 100 fuel-efficient newbuilding bulk carriers from China, Korea, and Japan, with deliveries starting in 2014. These vessels are designed to optimize fuel consumption and reduce emissions compared to older models. Today, they make up about 90% of the capacity of our owned fleet. Additionally, most of our long-term chartered ships are eco-efficient models that prioritize energy savings and lower environmental impact.

We can help you to optimise your bulk logistics. Oldendorff Carriers operates innovative and cost-efficient transshipment solutions in Türkiye, Guyana, Trinidad, as well as the Arabian Gulf, which enables our clients to use bigger ships despite shallow waters.
