PALFINGER MARINE awarded contract for a total deck equipment package from Cemre Shipyard

PALFINGER MARINE proudly announces the signing of a contract with Cemre Shipyard in Turkey for the supply of an extensive deck equipment package to a Havyard 832 MPV vessel being built for Esvagt. The equipment package to be delivered consists of cranes, winches and offshore equipment. This major order proves that PALFINGER MARINE’s long-term strategy of being the total deck supplier to the marine and offshore industry is right. With a length of 81.9 metres and a beam measuring 17.16 metres, the vessel will have a deck area of 620 square metres, a speed of 15 knots and a bollard pull of 100 tonnes.

The complete winches and offshore equipment package consists of:

• two windlass winches with chain stoppers
• two mooring winches
• two 10 t tugger winches
• three 30 t tugger winches
• three 10 t capstans
• one double-drum 60 t towing winch with spooling devices
• one combined A-frame and stern roller (SWL 60 t and 100 t)

The cranes ordered by Cemre Shipyard include:

• two offshore-rated cargo rail cranes, each 10 t at 10 m and 5 t at 15 m, the cranes come with personnel handling of 1 t and MOB handling of 4 t
• one foldable knuckle boom crane for general cargo and provision handling with 1 t at 12 m

Durmus Gencer, Project Manager, explains why Cemre Shipyard chose PALFINGER MARINE as the supplier: “At the beginning of the project, it was absolutely obvious that PALFINGER MARINE had been working for this order for many months, and this effort puts PALFINGER MARINE ahead of other suppliers. This makes it easier for the shipyard to choose flawless equipment correctly. PALFINGER MARINE’s experience and commitment to finding solutions for unexpected problems gave us the confidence to carry out our work accordingly.”

Delivering this package for the new building project for Esvagt shows the major advantage for the customer of choosing the one-stop-shop supplier for deck equipment. PALFINGER MARINE was a perfect fit to Cemre Shipyard’s order requirements based pre-negotiation including prices, documentation, technical support, on-time delivery of equipment as well as after sales relations.

“We are happy to work with PALFINGER MARINE and hope this relationship will grow even stronger,” says Durmus Gencer.

The delivery of the equipment is scheduled for 2017.
