Finnish machinery supplier Cargotec Oyj said Thursday that it has won EUR-20 million (USD 24.7m) orders to supply MacGregor bulk-handling cranes and hatch covers for bulk carriers, to be built at Chinese shipyard Zhejiang Ouhua Shipbuilding Co Ltd.
MacGregor is Cargotec's brand for marine cargo and offshore load-handling solutions.
Cargotec will deliver handling cranes and hatch covers for 17 Handysize newbuildings, with a capacity of 37,000 dead-weight tonnes (dwt).
Each vessel will be equipped with four cranes, to be manufactured at Cargotec partner plants in China, with a capacity of 30 tonnes safe working load (SWL) when handling general cargo and 24 tonnes SWL when grab handling. The hatch cover order for these ships covers design and key components for MacGregor 2 + 2 folding type hatch covers, with a total of 20 panels on each ship.
Cargotech will also supply hatch covers for nine Kamsarmax ships with a capacity of 82,000 dwt. The delivery of the sets, comprising MacGregor rack-and-pinion side-rolling hatch covers, will start from mid-2011.
