Cargotec is supplying the following MacGregor equipment:
· movable shore ramps to load/unload the upper and lower decks; all wide enough to allow two lanes for trucks
· a passenger gangway – fixed and a movable sections.
· a provisioning tower
· an automooring system
· a storm mooring system (MOOREX type)
“The new ferries have a capacity for 460 cars or 90 trucks, and 1,500 passengers. The disembarkation and embarkation time for the new ferries is to last maximum 15 minutes and thus efficient and reliable MacGregor shore ramps, passenger gangway and mooring solutions are crucial to ensure short port turnaround times. Cargotec’s engineering expertise played the key role to win the order, says Per Blad, Sales Manager, RoRo Ships at Cargotec.
