MACGREGOR PROVIDES EQUIPMENT FOR METHANOL-FUELLED PCTCs

Sep 29, 2023 | Shipbuilding & ship repair news

MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has been chosen to deliver ro-ro equipment for two of the world’s first methanol-fuelled pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) for China Merchant Energy Shipping to be built at China Merchants Heavy Industry (Jiangsu).

The vessels are scheduled to be delivered to the owner between the third and fourth quarter of 2025. MacGregor´s scope of supply is to design and deliver the key components consisting of external and internal ramps, covers, electrically operated doors, and liftable car decks, as well as installation support.

MacGregor says it was selected as the supplier for the reliability of its products and solutions. The customer was convinced of the competitiveness of MacGregor’s offerings and service network. The highlight of the order was innovations such as soft flaps, which reduce noise in the harbour, and ramp position indicator, a stern ramp landing surveillance system that allows the crew to see exactly where the ramp will land before operations start.

Magnus Sjöberg, SVP Merchant Solutions, MacGregor said: “As CMES is an important PCTC operator, we are pleased to be part of their new projects for the first time. We will do our best to build trust and cooperation in the future. We also have high appreciation for the very good cooperation with CMHI in many ongoing projects.”
