Pacific Basin is one of the world’s leading owners and operators of modern handysize and handymax dry bulk vessels, operating a large, uniform fleet of geared bulk carriers with sizes ranging from 25,000 to 60,000 deadweight tonnes. We are also active in the towage and roll-on roll-off shipping sectors. Whilst we operate primarily in the Asia Pacific region, we have offices all over the world and in every major time zone, allowing us to provide round-the clock service to our customers who are mainly blue-chip producers and end-users of industrial commodities.

Our strategic subsidiaries and joint ventures such as FBSL, APMIG and PacMarine provide Pacific Basin with new opportunities that support the company’s core businesses and add value to our operations.




We specialise in transporting by sea a broad range of bulk commodities, including:

		We operate an efficient and young fleet of vessels which are on average approximately six years old.
		Our expanding fleet comprise owned and chartered ships giving us a fleet size which offers scale and a high degree of operational flexibility
		We operate most of these vessels through Pacific Basin-IHC and Pacific Basin-IHX which we established in 2001 and 2006 and through which we have established a reputation as the leading provider of handysize and handymax freight services directly to major commodity companies
		Our Handysize and Handymax vessels are shallow drafted and equipped with onboard cranes, allowing them to serve many ports that other ship types cannot service due to size and cargo-handling restrictions
		Our chartering teams specialise in offering freight services to customers ranging from spot charters to multi-year contracts of affreightment, and are dedicated to providing a service with first class performance and reliability. We operate one of the largest fleets in the world of modern handysize and handymax bulk carriers, to ensure the ideal vessel is provided for our customers’ requirements.
		We introduced two other core businesses in 2008. PB RoRo has started the process of securing employment for its newbuildings on order. Pacific Basin's towage activities, under the banner of PB Towage, are expanding rapidly.
		Our senior executives and other employees have extensive experience in shipping. With a primary focus on dry bulk transport in the Asia Pacific Region, they have a comprehensive knowledge of the market and expertise in areas such as chartering, vessel operations, technical management and crewing, vessel sale and purchase, shipbuilding and repair, finance and insurance.
