Substantial deck equipment contract

Importer
The order package includes MacGregor VDF electric cranes, claimed to save up to 35% of energy

The vessels are being built for Cyprus-based Lemissoler Navigation (Front Marine), with the delivery of the first two vessels scheduled for August 2015.

The contract will see MacGregor deliver equipment packages comprising electric pole-changing winches, steering gear, air compressors, hatch covers and variable frequency drive (VFD) electric cranes, four per ship. The packages include equipment from the combined MacGregor Hatlapa portfolio.

“The new contract was won as a direct result of our strengthened capability for larger delivery scope and a long standing relationship with the owner,” said Jörg Tollmien, head of sales for the Hatlapa offering at MacGregor. “It is also a good example of what our combined product ranges can offer customers, particularly in cases such as this where an extensive scope of deck equipment is required for multiple ships.”
