MacGregor has been chosen to supply RoRo equipment for two 8000 LM RoRo ships built for CLdN in Luxembourg by Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) in South Korea.
The order has been entered into Cargotec’s orders received in the first quarter of 2023. The first vessel will be delivered to the owner by the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, and the second vessel will be delivered in the second quarter of 2025.
CLdN’s new RoRo ships are intended for short-sea connectivity in Northern and Western Europe.
According to the statement, the order includes stern ramps, ramp coverings and hoistable vehicle decks, access ramps, and rampway doors, as well as complete hardware. Furthermore, MacGregor engineers will give assistance and monitoring during the installation.
“Together we have been able to design an efficient and flexible cargo layout that will assist CLdN in fulfilling our ambitions as one of the leading short sea RoRo operators in Northern and Western Europe,” commented Gary Walker, COO of shipping at CLdN.
