Guangzhou: MacGregor has secured contacts from three Chinese shipyards to provide winches to 22 anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTS) under construction.
The three Chinese shipyards are Fujian Southeast Shipyard, Fuzhou Baima Shipyard and Guangdong Yuexin Ocean Engineering.
“Our offshore winches have been specified for a run of new-series small and medium AHTSV developments in the 60 m to 65 m range,” said Francis Wong, director of segment sales and marketing at MacGregor. “Most of these vessels have enhanced equipment and vessel specifications in response to the increased demands from charterers and oil companies in the Southeast Asia and Middle East regions.”
Deliveries will start from August 2013 to March 2014. [21/05/13]
