MACGREGOR, part of Cargotec, the Finnish cargo handling equipment giant, has signed a five-year maintenance deal with Oslo-based cruise ferry service Color Line, extending its previous contract to include all vessels in the fleet and their Norwegian and Danish terminals.
In the scope of supply there are two annual inspections (the pre-dock and ”preseason”) of the ro-ro equipment and steering gears on seven vessels and five linkspans for a period of five years. In addition, maintenance activities are specified for each vessel.
”With these annual inspections, Color Line will have full knowledge of the technical status as well as maintenance cost of the equipment on board the entire fleet and the linkspans,” said Cargotec.
Said Color Line marine operations chief Andre Thoresen: ”This agreement will give us the security we need and the ability to plan for detailed maintenance over the next five years.”
Said macgregor vice president John Carnall: ”Color Line has a high focus on critical equipment and they are now able to continue to secure the uptime for their fleet and linkspans.”
