The versatile Bodewes Trader 7000/8000 has become an unrivalled success in a very short time span. A success that is easy to explain because this ship design has a number of features that makes it very interesting for shipowners. The flexibility of the Trader is almost without limits. To begin with, the payload varies from 6,700 to 8,100 tons. The Trader can carry containers as well as bulk goods and dangerous goods. The Trader features two holds with dimensions that can vary according to the consultations made during the construction. For each voyage, these holds can be divided in the most economic way due to the movable bulkheads (providing more square metres), which can be moved both in the horizontal as in the vertical direction. This way, different kind of loads can be transported in a single voyage.
