(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 7 SEPTEMBER 2017 AT 9:30 AM EEST
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has received an order from Yangzijiang shipyard in
China to equip five 62,000 dwt open hatch bulk carriers (OHBC) with hatch covers
and cranes. Equipment deliveries will start in 2018 and continue until 2019. The
order was booked into Cargotec's third quarter 2017 order intake.
"We want to help our customers succeed," says Leif Byström, Senior Vice
President, Cargo Handling, MacGregor. "Our commitment to this success is
MacGregor's long track record in engineering safe and efficient solutions for
cargo handling and stowage."
The order comprises the design of key hatch cover components and the delivery of
twenty cranes; four per vessel. Each crane will be fitted with an active
rotation control (ARC) system, which stabilises and automatically rotates a load
in the air.
"This enables faster load handling, reduces cargo damage and delivers
considerable energy savings," adds Mr Byström.
