AMP ramps orders

The shipyard has produced a large number of tugs of this type, based on a very successful design from Robert Allan Ltd. Over the years the original design has been refined in the light of experience gained locally and through other operators also using vessels built by Irving. In this instance the tugs are required to meet the requirements of Lloyds Register Ice Class 1A FS for operation in Scandinavian waters.Global engineering group Cavotec MSL has recorded its strongest ever order book, up 8.7% to ¢44.4m. Cavotec recently announced a breakthrough with its Alternative Maritime Power (‘cold ironing’) technology with the successful connection of a post-Panamax containership to its shore based AMP installation at the Port of Los Angeles in California. Major orders have also been signed for different versions of its vacuum based mooring technology.
