Cargotec Receives Significant Bulk Handling Orders
Cargotec's MacGREGOR business area providing marine cargo handling solutions has
received orders for five bulk cargo loaders and unloaders. One of the systems
will be manufactured in China and four in Europe. The bulk cargo systems will be
delivered to customers during 2007-2008. The value of the received orders is
approximately EUR 16 million. The orders have been booked in the final quarter of
2006.
The bulk cargo systems will be delivered to different bulk terminals in Europe,
Africa and U.S.A. The terminal customers will handle either grain, alumina,
cement or limestone with the systems. The delivered bulk cargo systems are of
MacGREGOR's Siwertell model, which are efficient to use and environmentally
friendly. Their totally closed conveying system limits the amount of cargo dust
released into the air.
