Hartman Seatrade has announced the successful transport of a special industrial cargo aboard its multipurpose vessel (MPP) Polar Rock. The shipment, carried from Poland to Spain, consisted of large stainless-steel beer tanks for a brewery, along with all necessary supporting equipment packed in containers.

Polar Rock belongs to Hartman Seatrade’s “Rock” class of multipurpose vessels designed for project and complex cargoes. The vessel features a deadweight capacity of 4,540 dwt, a bale capacity of 6,475 cbm, and a loading deck area of 1,320 m². It is equipped with RoRo capability of 80 metric tons per axle, open-top notation, and exceptionally strong tweendecks rated at 5.0 mt/m².

The ship’s shallow draught—3.4 meters in ballast and 5.0 meters when fully loaded—makes it suitable for operations in ports with limited depth. The vessel also meets IMO 1.1 safety standards and complies with NOx TIER III environmental regulations. Additional features include fouling-free silicon hull coating and a ballast water treatment system.
