handymax
Handymax is a naval architecture term for a bulk carrier, typically between 35,000 and 60,000 deadweight tonnage (DWT).
A handymax ship is typically 150-200 meters (492-656 feet) in length, though certain bulk terminal restrictions, such as those in Japan, mean that many handymax ships are just under 190 meters in overall length. Modern handymax designs are typically 52,000-58,000 DWT in size, have five cargo holds, and four cranes of 30 metric ton lifting capacity.
