MacGregor solutions specified for next-generation cruise ships
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 12 APRIL 2016 AT 10 AM EEST
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has secured orders for environmentally-friendly
equipment for four next-generation eco-cruise ships which will be built in
Germany and Finland. The vessels will be the first liquefied natural gas-powered
cruise ships to enter the market. The orders were booked into first quarter
2016 order intake.
"Cruise ships operate in some of the world's most fragile ecosystems and a
rising demand from both authorities and operators requires that onboard systems
are as environmentally-friendly as possible," says Lars Öberg, Sales Manager,
RoRo at MacGregor. "They also need to be efficient, quiet and cost-effective."
MacGregor deliveries include electrically-operated shell doors and electric
frequency-controlled Hatlapa winches.
"Our extensive portfolio of electrically-driven equipment is ideally suited to
this ship type," continues Mr Öberg. "The greatest environmental benefits of
electric drives are the elimination of potentially polluting hydraulic oil leaks
and the fact that, on average, electric drives consume up to 30 percent less
energy than their hydraulic equivalents. MacGregor's impressive reference list
of providing reliable electric-drive systems in RoRo applications as well as the
company's ability to make timely deliveries was an important factor in securing
the contract."
