Project cargoes

Agriculture & energy Carriers are not only carrying bulk cargoes.

Recently the MV AEC Belief successfully carried a full load of projects cargo, loaded both under and on deck, from China and South Korea to North Brazil.

MV AEC Belief’s open hatch/box holds design made it the ideal vessel for the job.

Winter loading in the St. Lawrence

The winter has been cold in the North and it has been nothing different in the St. Lawrence area. Nevertheless AEC loaded a cargo of bulk wheat at Montreal on MV Koszalin, a 2012 built 38,056 dwat Bulk Carrier. The cargo went to two ports in the much warmer North Brazil.
