On January 18 Clipper took delivery of the fourth Bari-Star design handysize vessel from Imabari Shipyard. The 38,000 dwt Clipper Bliss joined her sisters Clipper Bari-Star, Clipper Bettina and Clipper Belle in our company’s significant handysize fleet of about 70 controlled vessels.

Clipper Bliss represents the next generation handysize type with impressive cargo capacity and eco fuel consumption. Her maiden voyage started in California loading rice in Sacramento and Stockton, destined to Mersin, Turkey.

The four Bari-Star vessels from Imabari are an important step in building up the fleet in our core segment bulk.
