Valentine Watkins

MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has recently secured an order to supply 20 MacGregor cranes for four new multi-purpose vessels under construction at Taizhou Kouan Shipbuilding in China for Chinese company Nanjing King Ship Management.

The vessels are scheduled for delivery between late 2014 and early 2015. The order was booked in the third quarter 2013 order intake.

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

Delivery of the cranes is planned between 2014 and the beginning of 2015.
