MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has won a series of deck equipment orders from
Chinese shipbuilder Xiamen Shipbuilding Industry Co Ltd. The winches and deck

Two 100m 300-person accommodation/work barges will each feature eight-point
mooring systems, with an 85-tonne line pull/150-tonne brake holding capacity,
tugger winches and capstans. These vessels are scheduled to be delivered from
the second quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2016. The remaining four
99.8m accommodation/installation maintenance and repair vessels will each
feature a range of deck machinery with delivery planned from the third quarter
