Largest LNG-powered ferry will feature flexible MacGregor RoRo cargo access package
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 17 DECEMBER 2014 AT 10.00 AM (EET)
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has received a contract from German shipbuilder
Flensburger-Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG) for a comprehensive RoRo cargo access
equipment package. It is destined for an LNG-powered RoRo ferry that will be
constructed at the yard for the Australian owner, SeaRoad; an option remains for
one more vessel package.
At 181m, it will be the largest RoRo ferry with LNG propulsion and the first
vessel of this type built by FSG. Delivery is scheduled for the third quarter of
2016. The ferry will serve SeaRoad's planned new regular liner service across
the Bass Strait between Melbourne on the Australian mainland and Devonport on
the Australian island of Tasmania.
"Conditions are notoriously rough on the Bass Strait, which puts equipment
reliability high on the agenda," says Göran Hugon, Sales Manager, RoRo Equipment
at MacGregor. "Over the years, MacGregor has enjoyed a long and successful
relationship with FSG and we won the contract because the yard is pleased with
the reliability and performance of previous MacGregor deliveries."
FSG says that the vessel will boast a particularly flexible cargo carrying
capability and is able to accommodate containers, including reefer units,
trailers, cars and hazardous cargo as well as livestock.
MacGregor's scope of supply of tailor-made RoRo equipment includes two stern
ramps/doors, one ramp cover, one access ramp and two pilot/bunker doors, along
with installation services. Equipment delivery is scheduled for the fourth
quarter of 2015.
