(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 17 APRIL 2015 AT 9.30 AM (EEST)
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has secured contracts to supply Pusnes bow loading
systems for three newbuild shuttle tankers intended for operations in Brazilian
waters. The order was booked into first quarter 2015 order intake.
South Korean shipyard Sungdong Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co Ltd will
install a Pusnes bow loading system on a 157,000 dwt Suezmax DP2 shuttle tanker
under construction for tanker specialist Tsakos Energy and Navigation Ltd. The
Greek headquartered company specified Pusnes loading systems for two earlier
shuttle tankers, the Brasil 2014 and Rio 2016, both delivered in 2013.
The other two systems will be installed on a pair of 156,000 dwt Suezmax shuttle
tankers under construction at Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea for
Knutsen NYK Offshore Tankers AS.
"These prestigious orders include engineering, production and commissioning of
our proven bow loading systems. They confirm our unique market position and
increase our already large installed base in Brazilian waters," says Ann-Kari
Heier, Vice President for MacGregor Offshore Loading Systems. "An impressive
reference list and our long, successful relations with the companies and yards
concerned combined with our strong market position made us win these contracts."
Pusnes is the market leader in bow loading systems and has been supplying the
market for nearly four decades. Pusnes solutions provide safe and secure
connections that allow shuttle tankers to load oil directly from offshore
facilities while holding station by means of dynamic positioning systems.
