Cargotec wins EUR 22 million order for 900-tonne MacGregor AHC subsea crane from South Korea
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 16 MAY, 2013 AT 9.30 AM (EEST)
Cargotec's MacGregor has received EUR 22 million order to deliver a 900-tonne
active heave-compensated (AHC) MacGregor subsea crane to the South Korean
shipyard, Hyundai Heavy Industries Co Ltd. The crane will be installed on a
150m multi-purpose offshore construction vessel (MOCV) ordered by Sealion
Shipping, on behalf of Toisa Ltd.
"This is the largest active heave-compensated MacGregor offshore crane that has
been ordered," says Frode Grøvan, Director, Sales and Marketing for Advanced
Load Handling. "At a time when subsea modules are getting larger and heavier and
operations are being conducted at ever greater depths, a sophisticated crane on
this scale equips the new vessel to meet the ever increasing demands of the
offshore construction market."
Sealion Shipping, a UK-based offshore support company that manages and operates
offshore support vessels for Toisa, describes the MOCV as a customised version
of an Ulstein Deepwater Enabler design. It says: "The DP 3 vessel is designed
and equipped for worldwide operations in the oil and gas sector, ultra deepwater
installation and construction, flexible lay, pipe lay, cable lay and topside
construction support, and will be built to the highest standards and with
maximum flexibility and capability prioritised".
The crane delivery is planned for the beginning of 2015, with the vessel
delivery following shortly afterwards in July.
