Cargotec's MacGregor signs major equipment contract with Kleven Shipyard for six new anchor handlers
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has received a major order from Kleven in Norway for six comprehensive deck handling equipment packages. They will be installed on six new-generation Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels for Maersk Supply Service. MacGregor's delivery of Triplex and Hatlapa products is planned to start in the last quarter of 2015 and run until the second quarter of 2017. The contract also includes options to equip an additional four vessels. The parties have agreed not to disclose the order value, the company said in its press release.
The contract will see MacGregor deliver Triplex 42 Multi-deck handlers, Shark jaws and Towing pins as well as huge Hatlapa stern rollers with SWL 1,250t to each vessel. The 95m AHTSs will be built to a SALT 200-design from Salt Ship Design and are planned for delivery between the end of 2016 and mid-2017. They will be built at Kleven's two shipyards in Norway, Kleven Verft and Myklebust Verft.
