Handysize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Handysize refers to a dry bulk vessel or product tanker with deadweight of 15,000–50,000 tons. Above this size are Handymax bulkers and there is no well defined class below.
Handysize is the most widespread size of bulk carrier, with nearly 2000 units in service for a total of 43 million tons of carriage. Very flexible, they also tend to be the oldest of the bulk carriers.
