Open Hatch

Open hatch vessels, also known as box-shaped hold vessels, are specialized ships designed with hold-wide hatch openings that allow for flexible loading and unloading of cargo. Unlike bulk vessels, which have large cargo holds for transporting commodities such as grain, coal, or ore in bulk form, open hatch vessels offer the advantage of handling various types of cargo, including project cargoes, containers, and general cargoes. The open hatch design enables easy access to the cargo holds, facilitating efficient loading and discharge operations while also providing flexibility in accommodating different cargo sizes and shapes.
