Australian Coastal Service
Jebsens’ M/V Enterprise is a self-discharging bulk vessel servicing southern Australian ports. The vessel has the ability to carry a variety of bulk cargoes from fertilizers, grain, gypsum and soda products to zinc concentrates, barley and dolomite.

The service is fully integrated with services provided by Jebsens Orient Shipping Services throughout South East Asia/Australia and Jebsens Trans Pacific service within Australia and between Australia and New Zealand and the west coast of America and Canada and return.

Jebsens also has the ability to provide an integrated logistical supply chain encompassing shipping, storage, road and rail functions under the service operated under Jebsens Logistics.

The belt self-discharge design utilizes an onboard conveying system that allows it to discharge the holds via the manoeuvrable boom on the bow. The boom contains a troughed belt conveyor that discharges into a shore hopper at the rate of 1,000 metric tonnes per hour depending on the type of cargo and shore-side infrastructure. The vessel mainly operates on the east and southern Australian coasts.
