Carisbrooke Shipping owns / operates a fleet of over 31 modern dry cargo and multi-purpose vessels from offices in Cowes (UK) and Dordrecht (Holland).
All key aspects of ship management are covered by the Carisbrooke Group, including technical and safety management, crewing and financial administration.
The vessels managed are modern, with an average age of around five years and excellent safety records, and the company has developed a fleet of fuel-efficient vessels over the past few years.
The vessels trade worldwide and are operated by highly-trained, multinational crews.
The focus of our first newbuild program back in the 1990s was the European 5,000 dwt coaster market, wherein we already had a presence servicing various trades between North Europe-UK to the Mediterranean and Black Sea, and vice-versa, carrying multiple commodities, but principally grain, fertilizers, coal and steels. The vessels operating since then have shared a multi-purpose open-hatch and box-shaped hold commonality, enabling them to carry various types of cargoes, including containers, palletized cargo, forest products and project cargoes such as pipes, wind mill blades and leisure yachts.
The company is proud of the level of service it provides to customers and of the standards it upholds.
