The incredible bulk

Bulk carrier design rarely warrants more than a passing mention. The ships are often seen as little more than strengthened barges with engines. And clichés like “sausage factory”, are commonly used to describe the production line of yards building them. But nobody could level such accusations at Gypsum Transportation?s new ship Gypsum Centennial nor at its builder Hyundai Mipo Dockyard. The ship features the first commercial application of a new design engine and a potentially revolutionary new unloading system. The builder specialises in one-off ships.
