Cranes for multi-purpose vessels

14 October 2013

MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has recently secured an order to supply 20 MacGregor cranes for four new 38,000 dwt general cargo vessels under construction at Taizhou Kouan Shipbuilding Co in China for Nanjing King Ship Management Co.

"The mix of cranes is designed to provide high levels of cargo handling efficiency," says Svante Lundberg, sales manager, Cranes. "The nature of a general cargo vessel means that the arrangement of the cranes has to deliver high levels of flexibility for loading and discharging an extremely variable cargo profile; we have worked closely with all parties to develop the best configuration."

Each MacGregor crane outfit comprises one 36t SWL crane with an outreach of 26m located forward, and two twin-GL cranes each with a 2 x 50t SWL capacity and an outreach of 26m.
