MacGregor cargo access order

The vessels are under construction at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) for the Luxembourg-based operator CLdN (Cobelfret), with options for a further three builds.

Karl-Axel Persson, senior sales manager, MacGregor RoRo, said: “MacGregor has a long and successful customer relationship with HMD. Following the delivery, MacGregor will continue to support CLdN, working with the owner to deliver the best possible lifecycle profitability.”

When completed, the 235m long and 35m wide vessels will be the world’s largest commercial RoRo carriers. They have been ordered as part of CLdN’s fleet expansion and modernisation programme.

Each MacGregor RoRo access equipment package will comprise a stern ramp, internal ramps, bulkhead doors and four levels of hoistable electrically-operated car decks.

The vessels are expected to enter into service in 2017 for deployment on CLdN’s regular service in Northern Europe.
