MacGregor secures more contracts

摘要

MacGregor's ro-ro division has signed a new contract with Aker Yards for delivery of cargo access equipment to the worlds largest ro-pax ferries. Gothenburg-based Stena Rederi AB has ordered two 62,000gt ships, which will be built in Germany by Aker MTW, and there is an option for two additional vessels. MacGregor's order includes design, fabrication, and installation of 800tonnes of ro-ro equipment and is one of the biggest single contracts taken by the ro-ro division. The 240m-long, 32m-wide ships will be delivered in 2010. Each will accommodate vehicle space comprising 5500m of trailer lanes and 700m of car lanes, and passenger capacity will be 1200.
