(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 5 MARCH 2015 AT 9.30 AM (EET)
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has received an order from Wuhu Xinlian Shipyard in
China for eight MacGregor dry bulk cement handling systems.
The fully automated pneumatic systems will be installed on two 78m 12,000 bhp
150T BP anchor handling, tug, supply and oil recovery vessels and six 79m 4,000
dwt platform supply vessels. The contract includes system design and the
delivery of key components, which will take place between August 2015 and
January 2016.
"The customer chose MacGregor's pneumatic dry bulk handling system because it
offers high functionality and excellent reliability, important benefits
supported by testimonials from other satisfied customers," says Francis Wong,
head of Sales and Marketing at MacGregor Offshore Deck Machinery. "The fully
automated self-discharging model is quick, safe, efficient, clean and labour
saving.
"The advantages begin in the shipyard and extend throughout the vessel's
lifetime," says Mr Wong. "This is because the distributed control and profibus
system are quick and easy to install, while maintenance costs are low.
MacGregor's global service network ensures excellent customer support wherever
these new vessels are deployed."
The first totally-enclosed self-loading and unloading cement carrier with
MacGregor highly automated cargo handling gear was commissioned in 1947. Since
then MacGregor has remained in the forefront of the development and supply of
reliable, energy-efficient pneumatic conveying systems with high pumping rates
for the marine and offshore industries.
MacGregor offers a wide range of marine self-unloading solutions for dry bulk
materials. These include MacGregor self-unloading systems for dry bulk carriers,
transloading systems and bulk handling systems for offshore supply vessels, all
designed to ensure efficient, flexible and environmentally friendly operation.
