MacGregor makes its mark

摘要

Korea's appetite for diversification into ro-ro vessel construction has brought another fillip for MacGregor. The company's ro-ro division has secured contracts to design and supply access and transfer equipment for 10 more ro-ro ships being built for Grimaldi by Hyundai Mipo. The supplier said that the contract included design and fabrication of the equipment, which will be delivered between 2009 and 2011 and was worth more than €20 million. Each shipset of ro-ro equipment will comprise: one cylinder-operated straight stern ramp, one bulkhead door on the tank top deck, one side-hinged ramp cover in two sections, one bulkhead door on the weather deck, one hoistable ramp between main and upper deck, two pilot/bunker doors and 18 hoistable cardecks/access ramps on two levels, plus two integrated access ramps on the upper car deck level. The total weight of the ro-ro equipment is about 700tonnes per shipset.
