MacGregor linkspan order
MacGregor Group’s RoRo Ships division has signed a contract with Danish operator DFDS Tor Line to design and commission a large linkspan for installation in the outer harbour at Immingham in the UK, where the operator has a concession for a new terminal. Dredging work has already started and the linkspan is due to be operational by early 2006.
The linkspan will comprise a 108m x 30m floating pontoon, which will accommodate up to three vessels, berthing side-byside with various stern ramp configurations. The pontoon will be connected to the shore terminal by two three-lane bridges so that all vessels will be able to be loaded and discharged simultaneously. The linkspan will be built and maintained to Lloyd’s Register (LR) classification society requirements.
