MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has secured an order to supply cargo access equipment for 12 Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTCs), with an option for eight additional vessels. The vessels will be built at China Merchants Heavy Industry (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. (CMHI) for CIDO Shipping. The order was booked into Cargotec’s third quarter 2024 order intake, with deliveries planned to begin in the second quarter of 2026 and to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2029.
The scope of the contract includes the design and key components for quarter ramps, side ramps, internal ramps, covers, and liftable car decks including installation assistance. MacGregor’s proven track record with CMHI, supported by the reliable deliveries and high-quality solutions, played a significant role in securing this order. CIDO Shipping has a longstanding relationship with MacGregor, having equipped many of its vessels with MacGregor solutions in the past.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with CMHI and CIDO Shipping, delivering innovative and reliable solutions that contribute to operational efficiency and vessel performance over the long term,” says Magnus Sjöberg, Senior Vice President, Equipment Solutions Division, MacGregor. “This order demonstrates our strong customer relationships and reputation for reliability and quality.”
