CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 5 MARCH 2015
AT 9.30 AM (EET)
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has received an order
from Wuhu Xinlian Shipyard in China for eight MacGregor dry bulk
cement handling systems.
The fully automated pneumatic systems will be
installed on two 78m 12,000 bhp 150T BP anchor handling, tug,
supply and oil recovery vessels and six 79m 4,000 dwt platform
supply vessels. The contract includes system design and the
delivery of key components, which will take place between August
2015 and January 2016.
"The customer chose MacGregor's pneumatic dry bulk
handling system because it offers high functionality and excellent
reliability, important benefits supported by testimonials from
other satisfied customers," says Francis Wong, head of Sales and
Marketing at MacGregor Offshore Deck Machinery. "The fully
automated self-discharging model is quick, safe, efficient, clean
and labour saving.
"The advantages begin in the shipyard and extend
throughout the vessel's lifetime," says Mr Wong. "This is because
the distributed control and profibus system are quick and easy to
install, while maintenance costs are low. MacGregor's global
service network ensures excellent customer support wherever these
new vessels are deployed."
The first totally-enclosed self-loading and
unloading cement carrier with MacGregor highly automated cargo
handling gear was commissioned in 1947. Since then MacGregor has
remained in the forefront of the development and supply of
reliable, energy-efficient pneumatic conveying systems with high
pumping rates for the marine and offshore industries.
MacGregor offers a wide range of marine
self-unloading solutions for dry bulk materials. These include
MacGregor self-unloading systems for dry bulk carriers,
transloading systems and bulk handling systems for offshore supply
vessels, all designed to ensure efficient, flexible and
environmentally friendly operation.
