HILDA

The HILDA is a general cargo ship with a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 1,600 tonnes, designed primarily for regional trade routes. Built in 1995, the vessel has a length overall (LOA) of 75.92 meters, indicating suitability for smaller ports and limited draft areas. Its operational profile suggests capabilities for transporting various cargo types, although specific engineering details remain unspecified.

Currently, the HILDA is reported to be traveling at a speed of 7.9 knots, indicating it is likely engaged in a transit phase. The absence of detailed draft information and operational status suggests that the vessel may not be in a laden condition, potentially indicating a repositioning voyage rather than an active loading or discharging operation.

The HILDA's operational status and age suggest a competitive positioning in the market for smaller cargo movements. Brokers may find opportunities in niche markets where flexibility and lower operational costs are valued. The vessel’s current trading status and general cargo classification could attract interest from charterers seeking to optimize regional supply chains.

With a DWT of 1,600 tonnes and a gross tonnage of 499, the HILDA offers suitable capacity for regional cargo operations. The unspecified engine and performance metrics limit detailed efficiency analysis; however, the direct drive oil engine implies traditional propulsion mechanics. Brokers should consider the potential implications of the vessel's age on operational reliability and maintenance costs when assessing chartering decisions.
