Gearbulk was founded by Kristian Gerhard Jebsen of Bergen, Norway in 1968,[1][3] and took over the Dublin Shipping company in 1998.[4]

Fleet

As of October 2014, the Gearbulk fleet consists of 64 vessels, most of which are "open hatch gantry craned (OHGC)" vessels.[1] Standardising on this design makes the vessels interchangeable, and offers operational flexibility.[1]

Gearbulk also operates open hatch jib craned (Fleximax) vessels and several bulk carriers for general bulk cargoes.[1]

Early 2015 Gearbulk lost the MS Bulk Jupiter when it sank off the coast of Vietnam.[5]
