Cargotec receives cargo-handling crane orders worth around EUR 25
million from India
Cargotec has received an order worth around EUR 25 million for the
supply of 96 MacGREGOR cargo-handling cranes destined for 24 bulk
carriers on order at ABG Shipyard Ltd in India for Asian and European
owners. The delivery of the cranes is planned to start at the end of
this year and continue until mid-2013. Orders will be booked to the
second quarter 2009 order intake.
MacGREGOR's supply for each vessel includes four GLB3026-2 cranes
with a SWL of 30 tonnes. The cranes will be fitted with MacGREGOR's
new control system CC3000, which ensures smooth, fast and stepless
crane control. The cranes will be manufactured in MacGREGOR's partner
plants.
"This is a significant order for MacGREGOR. We were able to offer the
shipyard an effective crane design that met the vessels'
cargo-handling needs. This, along with the consistent support from
our local offices in India and Singapore during the negotiation
phase, made us successful", Paul Söderstedt, sales manager for
MacGREGOR cranes says.
