The repeat order involves vessel owner Atlantic Navigation. Equipment delivery is scheduled for completion by the third quarter of 2027. The order is booked into MacGregor’s second quarter 2026 order intake. The scope of supply includes the complete delivery of a modern 165-tonne AHC crane to be installed on a Construction Support Offshore Vessel built to American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Class standards. This newly developed crane represents the next generation of offshore lifting technology, and is designed to offer superior performance and a competitive edge over traditional 150-tonne solutions. “This repeat order highlights both our consistent delivery performance and the customer’s continued confidence in our next-generation offshore crane technology. Our lightweight 165-tonne AHC crane offers greater lifting capacity for the same weight as competing systems, delivering a clear operational advantage for our customers” says Lucie Addicks, Executive Vice President, Offshore Solutions, MacGregor. “We are very satisfied with the collaboration and with the technical competence demonstrated by MacGregor,” a Hong Hua Yard spokesperson commented. “This lightweight, high-performance AHC crane will enhance the vessel’s capability and reliability.” Source: MacGregor 2026-04-30 hellenicshippingnews... window.___gcfg = {lang: 'en-US'}; (function(w, d, s) { function go(){ var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], load = function(url, id) { if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;} js = d.createElement(s); js.src = url; js.id = id; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }; load('//connect.facebook.net/en/all.js#xfbml=1', 'fbjssdk'); load('https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js', 'gplus1js'); load('//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js', 'tweetjs'); } if (w.addEventListener) { w.addEventListener("load", go, false); } else if (w.attachEvent) { w.attachEvent("onload",go); } }(window, document, 'script')); tweet Share
