Grimaldi new car carriers call for MacGregor RoRo access systems
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 17 AUGUST 2015 AT 10 AM (EEST)
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has been contracted by Chinese shipbuilding group
Yangfan to deliver comprehensive RoRo access equipment packages for a series of
five post-Panamax 7,800 CEU pure car/truck carriers (PCTCs). The vessels are
under construction for Italian operator Grimaldi Group, with options for seven
more.
The 200m vessels will be among the world's largest car carriers. They have been
ordered as part of Grimaldi's fleet expansion and modernisation programme. Each
MacGregor RoRo access equipment package will comprise a quarter ramp, side ramp,
internal ramps, bulkhead doors and four levels of liftable car decks. The gross
weight of the equipment is about 2,400 tonnes per ship.
"We have a proven record of reliable deliveries and excellent support during the
construction process," says Mattias Gunnarsson, Director of Sales and Marketing,
MacGregor RoRo. "In addition, our ability to meet the challenging delivery
schedule was a major factor in winning this important contract.
"MacGregor has a long and successful working relationship with Grimaldi.
Following delivery, MacGregor will continue to support Grimaldi, working with
the owner to deliver the best possible lifecycle costs," Mr Gunnarsson adds.
The vessels are expected to enter into service in 2017 for deployment on
Grimaldi's regular service linking the Mediterranean and North America. This
service is specifically dedicated to the transport of new vehicles between
Europe and the US and Canadian markets.
