MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has signed a contract to supply oceanographic
winches and Triplex deck handling systems to a ground-breaking new research
vessel being built by the Fassmer shipyard in Berne, Germany. The order was

deliveries are planned for completion by the end of the first quarter of 2019.
The new dual-fuel (LNG) 74m vessel, Atair II, is under construction for the
