Asia Break Bulk adds heavylift muscle in Schoeller deal

Singapore-based Asia Break Bulk has secured four 12,600 dwt multipurpose heavylift newbuildings through a long-term deal with Schoeller Holdings.

The COLI Group-controlled carrier said the Octopus-type vessels, designed by China’s CSSC-SDARI, will feature two 250-tonne cranes capable of tandem lifts of up to 500 tonnes.

The first ship is scheduled for delivery in October 2028, with the remaining three following at intervals of approximately three months.
