Handysize is a naval architecture term for smaller bulk carriers or oil tanker with average deadweight 25-30 000mt Their small size allows Handysize vessels to enter smaller ports to pick up cargoes, and because in most cases they are ‘geared’ – i.e. fitted with cranes – they can often load and discharge cargoes at ports which lack cranes or other cargo handling systems. Such vessels are long-distant, for example, from the Black Sea they can reach Southeast Asia countires.
