Anvers: Gearbulk développe ses trafics de retour L’armement Gearbulk (1) présentait ces jours le dernier né de sa flotte, le m/v “Spruce Arrow”, un navire open hatch de type Fleximax, de 48.000 t.dw, fraîchement sorti d’un chantier naval polonais, qui effectue son maiden trip. Ce genre de navire conçu pour le transport de produits forestiers - la grande spécialité de l’armement - présente la particularité d’être doté d’un grément classique composé de 4 grues de 25 t, ceci en lieu et place des deux portiques qui équipent les autres générations de navires de l’armement. Il s’agit du quatrième navire d’une série de cinq et peut-être de sept, Gearbulk en ayant deux autres en option. Cette escale est l’occasion de faire le point sur les activités que mène cet armement à Anvers.
