Berge Bulk, in a few facts
- Operated Berge Stahl, the largest bulk carrier in the world for a quarter of a century, on her two-port iron-ore shuttle.
- Descends from Sig. Bergesen d.y. & Co, the Norwegian house that ran many of the twentieth century's biggest tankers and bulkers.
- Names its ships for mountains — Berge Stahl ('steel mountain') set the pattern.
