Four 12,500 dwt/766 TEU multipurpose/container ships commissioned from Kyokuyo Shipyard in Japan by Switzerland-based Enzian Shipping are scheduled for delivery in 2005. MacGregor was tapped to supply complete hatch cover sets for both weather and tweendecks, deck cranes, and securing systems. Designed for carrying container and bulk cargoes, the versatile vessels will be equipped with MacGregor liftaway hatch covers on the weather deck, each outfit comprising four panels for No 1 hatch, eight panels for No 2 hatch and two panels for No.3 hatch. The tweendeck cover (No 2 hatch) will consist of eight liftaway panels, some of which can be arranged to create portable bulkheads. The paired panels at both deck levels are designed to accept loading with 20ft or 40ft containers.
