Gearbulk was founded by Kristian Gerhard Jebsen of Bergen, Norway in 1968,[1][3] and took over the Dublin Shipping company in 1998.[4]

Fleet

As of October 2014, the Gearbulk fleet consisted of 64 vessels, most of which were "open hatch gantry craned (OHGC)" vessels.[1] Standardising on this design makes the vessels interchangeable, and offers operational flexibility.[1] Gearbulk also operates open hatch jib craned (Fleximax) vessels and several bulk carriers for general bulk cargoes.[1]

On 2 January 2015, the MS Bulk Jupiter sank off the coast of Vũng Tàu, Vietnam.[5]
