Hanssy Shipping

What Hanssy Shipping does

Hanssy Shipping Pte Ltd is a Singapore-incorporated, privately held heavy-lift shipping company that provides tailor-made ocean transportation for general, overweight, and oversize cargo. The company operates a fleet of eight heavy-lift and engineering vessels — MV HAN ZHANG (1992), MV HAN HE (2001), MV HAN DE (1993), MV HAN HUI (1998), MV HAN ZHI (1996), MV HAN XIN (1996), MV HAN YI (1998), and MV HAN REN (2012) — equipped with onboard cranes and derricks ranging from 30mt single lifts to 800mt combined tandem lifts, classified under Germanischer Lloyd (GL) and Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (NK). Combined deadweight capacity exceeds 100,000 DWT, and the fleet serves seven published trade lanes connecting Korea/China, India, the Red Sea, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the USA, with multiple enroute ports per lane.

The company targets B2B clients in heavy industry, energy, oil and gas, mining, and module/project cargo sectors that require specialized vessels capable of handling loads beyond standard shipping limits. Operations are delivered through a direct enterprise sales motion, with services governed by a standardized Bill of Lading that defines carrier/merchant obligations and includes demurrage, detention, and port-related charges as additional revenue levers. Pricing is determined on a per-contract basis with no publicly disclosed rate cards, and freight charges are structured as transaction fees tied to cargo weight, measurements, and voyage characteristics.

Hanssy maintains a lean corporate footprint of approximately 13 employees and runs a dedicated supervision and management department staffed by senior captains and engineers with extensive experience in bulk merchandise and engineering cargo. The company has no disclosed parent, no known institutional investors, no funding rounds, no digital applications, and limited modern digital presence, relying primarily on direct client engagement, industry reputation, and the inherent physical-asset barrier of its classified heavy-lift fleet as its commercial foundation.
