MACGREGOR, part of Cargotec, has received deck winch orders for four escort and four harbour tugs from Cheoy Lee Shipyards Ltd in Hong Kong. The winches have been designed to maximise vessel performance by minimising equipment weight. The orders were booked into Cargotec's fourth quarter 2018 order intake, with equipment deliveries planned on a rolling schedule commencing in the second quarter of 2019 through to the end of the third quarter.
The 32-metre tugs will operate in India, Southeast Asia and other regions around the world with MacGregor supplying compact and high-performance escort winches, anchor windlasses, towing winches, hydraulic power packs and power take-off (PTO) systems.
'The reduced weight and dimensions of the winch deliver a 10 per cent increase in vessel speed during forward tows, offering a considerable operational advantage to the customer,' said MacGregor marketing manager Terry Onn.
