4k Meet the HONG FU 528 - Filmed near the island of Penang, Malaysia

The HONG FU 528 is a bulk carrier designed for transporting unpackaged dry cargo such as coal, iron ore, grain, and aggregates. Bulk carriers like this form the backbone of global trade, moving the raw materials that power industry, construction, and food supply chains worldwide. The vessel features: A reinforced steel hull for heavy cargo loads; Large cargo holds with hatch covers for efficient loading and discharge; Deck cranes (on geared variants) for self-loading operations in ports without shore cranes; and A single slow-speed diesel engine driving a fixed-pitch propeller for long-distance fuel efficiency. Ships in this class are built for endurance rather than speed, typically cruising between 10–14 knots depending on load and sea conditions. When fully laden, a bulk carrier’s draft increases significantly, lowering the hull deeper into the water to maximise cargo capacity while maintaining stability. Operating routes often include major Asian industrial ports, carrying commodities that support energy production, steel manufacturing, and infrastructure development.
