MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has received an order from China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) to supply the on-vessel mooring system for a deepwater Floating Production Unit (FPU). The order is booked into Cargotec’s first quarter 2019 order intake and the delivery will take place in the first quarter of 2020.

“MacGregor helps customers manage the offshore hook-up phase of their floating production units with efficient on-vessel mooring solutions,” says Hoye Hoyesen, Vice President, Advanced Offshore Solutions, MacGregor. “We understand the importance of ensuring critical system reliability and availability throughout the lifetime of a project, and are delighted that CNOOC has chosen us to be their partner in this project.”
