In a bid to expand its presence in Brazil, Cargotec has recently won contracts that will see it supply a set of MacGregor offshore load handling and rescue handling equipment for two offshore support vessels under construction for Brazilian shipping company Navegação São Miguel.
The vessels have been ordered to serve an eight-year charter agreement with Petrobrás, set for operation in the Campos Basin in Macaé, Rio de Janeiro.
Cargotec will provide two types of rescue handling systems for small to heavy fast rescue craft and telescoping marine deck crane, for each vessel.
Henrik Vildenfeldt, senior vice president for Cargotec’s Offshore Load Handling said: “Cargotec intends to further expand its offshore business in Brazil by offering its customers integrated MacGregor offshore load handling systems and service solutions through a local team of competent new sales and service personnel at our expanded branch in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.
“By offering comprehensive equipment systems and service solutions that are adapted to market demands, Cargotec will leverage a position in this region as a distinct provider of value to its offshore customers.”
