Cargotec’s business area MacGREGOR has won new RoRo equipment and hoistable car deck contracts for 16 PCTCs worth over €55 million, securing its position as the largest supplier of cargo access equipment for car carriers and deep sea RoRo vessels. MacGREGOR has secured orders to supply RoRo equipment and hoistable car decks for 16 pure car/truck carriers (PCTCs) under construction in China, Korea and Japan. The total value of the orders exceeds €55 million and all the equipment will be delivered during 2010-11.
“With these orders, MacGREGOR secures its position as the largest global supplier of cargo access equipment for car carriers and deep sea RoRo vessels,” says Magnus Sjöberg, Sales director for company’s RoRo business line.
