WUHU Xinlian Shipyard in China has ordered eight dry bulk cement handling systems from MacGregor, a part of Cargotec. The customer chose this supplier owing to the high functionality and excellent reliability the equipment offers.
The fully automated pneumatic systems will be installed on two 78-metre 12,000 bhp 150T BP anchor handling, tug, supply and oil recovery vessels and six 79 metre 4,000 dwt platform supply vessels.
The contract includes system design and the delivery of key components, which will take place between August 2015 and January 2016, a statement from the equipment manufacturer said.
"The fully automated self-discharging model is quick, safe, efficient, clean and labour saving," said MacGregor Offshore Deck Machinery sales chief Francis Wong.
"The advantages begin in the shipyard and extend throughout the vessel's lifetime," he said. "This is because the distributed control and profibus system are quick and easy to install, while maintenance costs are low."
The first totally-enclosed self-loading and unloading cement carrier fitted with MacGregor's automated cargo handling gear was commissioned in 1947.
