Vogemann as a shipowning company: Our own fleet
The fleet managed by Vogemann currently comprises 29 bulkers of different sizes. Further Kamsarmax bulkcarriers are currently under construction and will be in service by 2027. Our modern ships are used wherever they’re needed around the world.
Our handysize bulkers
Maximum flexibility: thanks to their size and their own cranes, our handysize bulkers can call at just about any port and transport nearly any goods, whether ore, coal, cereals, aluminium, cement, minerals, fertilisers, forestry products or various steel products. With their comparably small size of up to 42,000 dwt and their minimal draught, they’re used for whatever reason and wherever they’re needed around the world. With the Green Dolphin class, we’re setting the highest standards in terms of technology and environmental protection.
Capesize Bulkers:
With over 160,000 dwt, capesize bulkers are the largest class of bulker and are used to transport coal and ore.
Panamax/ Kamsarmax Bulkers:
With over 70,000 dwt, panamax bulkers are used to transport ore, coal, cereals, aluminium and bauxite.
Supramax/ Ultramax Bulkers:
With over 50,000 dwt, supramax and ultramax bulkers have their own cranes and are thus more versatile.
