Thanks for the reply.
Do notice the higher freeboard now,no doubt due to the density of the cargo as you say.

Wood Chip Carrier. This ship is designed for carrying wood chips for paper. Unlike normal bulkers (for coal, iron ore, grain, etc.), vessels carrying a low specific gravity of chips are measured in terms of cargo hold capacity rather than deadweight capacity.

She seems to be classed as a woodchip carrier,is she in any way different to a standard bulker,adapted somehow?,or is that her only trade?
Remember them with hoppers on deck,although realise I haven't seen one of these for a while.

I thought something similar. NYK seem to go off the rails occasionally with their names . . .
