Gearbulk Holding Ltd. is an international shipping company that operates the world's largest fleet of open hatch gantry and semi-open jib craned vessels.[1] These vessels specialise in carrying unitised breakbulk cargoes like forest products, non-ferrous metals, and steel.
Headquartered in Pfäffikon, Switzerland, it also has a revenue stream in terminal operations. Founded by Kristian Gerhard Jebsen of Bergen, Norway in 1968,[1][2] it took over the Dublin Shipping company thirty years later.[3]
In January 2025, it was announced that Japan-based group MOL (Mitsui O.S.K. Lines) had completed the purchase of a majority stake (72%) in Gearbulk.[4]
Fleet
As of October 2014, the Gearbulk fleet consisted of 64 vessels, most of which were "open hatch gantry craned (OHGC)" vessels.[1] Standardising on this design makes the vessels interchangeable, and offers operational flexibility.[1] Gearbulk also operates open hatch jib craned (Fleximax) vessels and several bulk carriers for general bulk cargoes.[1]
On 2 January 2015, the MS Bulk Jupiter sank off the coast of Vũng Tàu, Vietnam.[5]
