Clarkson's Bulk Carrier Register is a comprehensive directory to bulk carriers, ore carriers and combination carriers of 10,000 dwt and over, including vessels confined to the Great Lakes. The Register is organized in four sections:

I. Statistical tables and graphs depicting the evolution and technical character of the bulk carrier fleet, changes occurring in 2014 (losses, scrappings, orders, deliveries, name changes, etc.)

II. Ship finder indexes grouped by deadweight capacity and type (open-hatch bulk carriers, self-discharging vessels, conbulkers, log-fitted bulk carriers, Great Lakes only bulk carriers, etc.)

III. Detailed information on each vessel – name and ownership; registry; builder; year of construction; class/type; hull dimensions and classification; tonnages (DWT, gross tons, etc.); grain capacity; propulsion; and other details such as hatches/holds and cargo handling gear. 

IV. A directory to owners and their fleets.

Other notable features include an introductory analysis of the bulk carrier market in 2014 and a glossary of bulk ship terminology. 

Clarkson’s data show that as of January 1, 2015, the world bulk fleet consisted of 10,316 ships with a total capacity of 756.2 million tons, representing increases in fleet size and deadweight capacity of 3.0 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively, from the year before. 

It, notes, too, that the seaborne dry bulk trade grew by 4.0 percent to 4.5 billion tons, with iron ore accounting for 1.3 billion metric tons ( 11 percent), coal for 1.2 billion tons ( 1.0 percent) and the balance consisting of grain (unchanged) and minor bulks such as fertilizer, bauxite, nickel ore, steel, and logs. 

A detailed profile of the existing world fleet as well as bulk carriers on order as of January 1, 2015, is provided by the attachment.
