MacGregorā€™s scope of supply encompasses design, manufacturing, transport and installation assistance for the bow and stern equipment together with internal ramps and doors. TheĀ  bow ramp folding frame solution and mooring rope self tension system increase efficiency by enabling loading at two levels and reduce the turn-around time in port.

“Remontowa is known for its professionalism, high quality and long-term environmental efforts, and we are delighted that our know-how and long experience has led the customer to choose us to deliver this comprehensive set of RoRo equipment for these three RoPax vessels,ā€ says Magnus Sjƶberg, Senior Vice President, Merchant Solutions Division, MacGregor.

ā€œIā€™m also satisfied to see that we are able to support our customerĀ“s focus on sustainability, as in this case, reducing the fuel consumption by enabling shorter turnaround time in the ports,ā€ he continues.
