Placing this order with MacGregor was the first choice for us.”
“Hapag-Lloyd is a highly appreciated and strategic customer for MacGregor” says Magnus Sjöberg, senior vice chairman, service provider options, MacGregor. “Over the years we have worked together closely to find ways to improve the cargo efficiency on existing ships and newbuildings. In this project, we have been collaborating on concept design and cargo system configuration from the very early stages. I am very proud that Hapag-Lloyd trusted us with this order.”
