By GlobalData"Adding loose lashings from the same supplier ensures that the lashings are designed to fit the rest of the cargo system in an optimised way and will help the vessels to reach their maximum cargo efficiency, flexibility and safety."
In addition to the loose lashing equipment, MacGregor will also supply fixed lashing gear to the vessels.
Earlier this week, MacGregor won an order to provide loose lashings for German operator Hapag-Lloyd‘s five new 10,500teu container ships, being constructed in South Korea by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries.
