Dedicated to the needs of the worlds naval and coast guard ships
Cargotec has a reputation for engineering excellence, acquired during more than 70 years in the business.
MacGregor equipment is installed on a broad spectrum of ships including more than 250 sealift, pre-positioning and multirole ships; along with amphibious/ dock and landing ships, logistic support, surface and coast guard vessels. Compared with a hydraulic system, electric operation saves energy! Hydraulic drives require continuous pump operation, whereas electric drives run only when the equipment is manoeuvred. Energy losses are also much lower than with a hydraulic system. For example, electrically-driven systems are not affected by pressure drops within the piping system. In addition, it is also possible to feed power back into the ships power supply when larger winches, such as those found on quarter ramps, lower heavy loads. All equipment is operated from control panels. The operation sequences are controlled by the PLC via push-buttons, joysticks or switches. Electric drives are easy to monitor and service and can be linked to remote diagnostic systems to provide round the clock data input for analysis. The health of a piece of equipment can be monitored and predicted at any time. Automated speed up and slow down functions make electric drives easier to operate than hydraulically-driven equipment.

Cutting-edge technology
Our R&D experts continue to develop innovative solutions that incorporate the latest technology. One example is the RIB launch and retrieval system onboard the high speed experimental littoral combat ship Sea Fighter. Another example is the MacGregor Test Article Vehicle Transfer System (TAVTS) for the US Navy. The ship-to-ship vehicle transfer system resulted from close cooperation between our ramp technology experts and offshore specialists, who contributed in-depth knowledge of heave compensation technologies.

Electric drives energy saving and easy to maintain

Always ahead, Cargotec has reduced the amount of hydraulic oil carried onboard by developing environmentally friendly electric drives for RoRo equipment, cranes, hatch covers and winches. Energy efficient and maintenance friendly, cargo flow equipment with electric drives is arousing the interest of navies from around the world. 4

MacGregor hatch covers are safe and cost effective, offering long service lifetimes, with low maintenance costs. Weathertightness is assured and strong emphasis is placed on manufacturing covers with either corrosion-free or easily replaceable components. MacGregor hatch cover types: lift-away standard folding multi-folding side-rolling stacking tween decks pivoting movable bulkheads. 5

MacGregor hatch covers must meet two principal requirements: safety and ease of cargo handling operations. As an essential part of the deck arrangement the hatch cover has to be weatherproof and has to remain so when conditions are changed by waves, temperature and cargo.

Cranes for cargo handling and challenging operations

Cargotec is a world-leading marine and offshore cargo crane supplier with extensive experience and knowhow. Over the years we have designed and successfully introduced a wide range of MacGregor crane types.
Our crane product portfolio covers all the cargo-handling demands of the marine and offshore industries and includes cranes that are suitable for a variety of operations, such as rough seas, cold climates, subsea, ship-to-ship, rescue, high sea states and heavy loads. Where appropriate, cranes are equipped with active heave compensation systems that enable modern subsea vessels to continue working under adverse weather conditions. subsea lifts. This is achieved by using auto-tension auxiliary whip and tugger winches. Furthermore our systems incorporate an integrated, user friendly control system. The main winch can be placed below deck. Offshore cranes are supplied with a safe working load (SWL) of up to 600 tonnes.. customers ensure that Cargotecs MacGregor crane development programme meets the changing needs of navies. One example is motion and pendulation control systems. Compensating for the motion of the vessel, they enable safe, accurate crane operation in both dockside and transloading situations.

Electric and electro-hydraulic cranes

MacGregor cranes can be equipped to provide the safe handling of virtually any type of cargo. Our standard cranes have safe working loads from 3 to 100 tonnes and heavy lift cranes up to 1,000 tonnes. Main crane types are wire-luffing and cylinder-luffing. The MacGregor microcomputer-based crane control system offers programmed crane control, load statistics, remote communication to a portable PC, remote control, and a range of other features. Joint product development activities with naval

Sea State cranes

Higher sea states often create problems during operations at sea and sometimes having a skilled crane operator is not enough to handle them; such circumstances are a challenge to even the most skillful crane operators and can endanger the safety of crew and cargo. A number of MacGregor systems can be used to simplify loading and offloading during difficult sea conditions. The systems, well adapted to work on US Navy vessels, are divided into three modes: RBTS, IRBTS and NAPA. RBTS Rider Block Tagline System RBTS is an anti-pendulation system that reduces the amplitude of load oscillations. The system can also be used to move the cargo closer to the crane, which can prove to be a helpful tool for accurate load positioning. The RBTS uses a rider block, which is controlled by winches. The block lowers the effective position of

Shipboard cranes

Shipboard cranes of luffing, knuckle-jib and telescoping type are designed for safe and accurate deck lifts onboard ships and offshore installations, and cargo handling within harbors. The cranes may be delivered with safe working load appropriate and various slew bearing dimensions and height of pedestal to accommodate operational requirements and industry regulations. Specially designed offshore cranes may be delivered with an operator cabin and various functions integrated within control system, such as Active Heave Compensation and auto tension. Cargorail cranes may also be delivered for specific operations on aft deck.

the crane top, resulting in a shorter pendulum length and providing the crane operator with the opportunity to remove the load from resonance frequencies. IRBTS Integrated Rider Block Tagline System A crane with RBTS has five degrees of freedom. To minimise steering complexity for the crane operator by reducing the cranes degrees of freedom to three, an IRBTS can be used instead of an RBTS. The IRBTS is a further development of the Rider Block Tagline System and has an integrated built-in intelligence that automatically controls the rider block. NAPA Naval Anti Pendulation Assistance The most advanced system, NAPA, takes the anti-pendulation systems to a higher level by using a set of motion sensors to detect and prevent pendulations induced by sea motion and other forces. The sensors are located in such a way that they can detect movements of both the crane and the load. Another important feature of NAPA is its ability to compensate for ship motions in other vessels during ship-to-ship operations. Similar sensors are placed on the target vessel and NAPA uses motion data from both vessels to make cargo landing and lifting operations as smooth and safe as possible. NAPA can be used with or without RBTS/IRBTS.

systems for guaranteed operation even during dead-ship conditions. Davits can make use of optional shock absorbers, heave compensation and/or constant tension features for safer handling in severe weather conditions and for heavy boats. An associated towing boom (slewing, luffing or telescoping) with optional jigger winch keeps the boat under control during launch and recovery.

Winches
The standard designs of MacGregor winches with up to 600 tonne line pull are based on extensive experience of winches for offshore, subsea and marine operations. Power packs and control systems are normally supplied as a complete package together with our winches, windlasses, capstans and shark jaw tow pins. Although usually equipped with hydraulic motors, the equipment can be supplied with environmentally-friendly electrical drives. All MacGregor winch systems are designed in compliance with classification rules and standards.

The innovative ship-to-ship transfer system TAVTS

The MacGregor Test Article Vehicle transfer system (TAVTS) successfully completed US Navy sea trials in 2010. Vehicles as large as battle tanks can be transferred between two ships on parallel courses.
Combination of ramp and heave-compensation technologies
In 2008 Cargotec began design and development work on the Test Article Vehicle Transfer System (TAVTS) for the US Navy. Cargotecs ramp technology experts worked closely with its offshore specialists who contributed their in-depth knowledge of heave compensation technologies. Cargotec has a long history of successful deliveries for NAVSEA, PEO Ships, MSC and MARAD. with the capability for large scale logistic movements from sea to shore without depending on foreign ports, as part of the Sea Basing strategy. Ships (PEO Ships). During the sea trials, the self-deploying ramp was mounted on the float-on/float-off ship, Mighty Servant 3, and the side port platform system was fitted to the LMSR ship, USNS Soderman. Installation of the ramp system on Mighty Servant 3 simulated the basic configuration envisioned for the future Mobile Landing Platform (MLP). The vessel was also fitted with a dynamic positioning system that allowed it to hold a specified position and orientation alongside the LMSR while underway, within a defined tolerance. During the course of testing in high sea state 3 and low sea state 4, there was a total of 111 vehicle roundtrips between the ships; 27 roundtrips during the pier side phase and 84 at sea.
