The subsidiary of the Finnish Cargotec will design, manufacture, transport, and assist in the installation of the bow and stern equipment together with internal ramps and doors.

"The bow ramp folding frame solution and mooring rope self tension system increase efficiency by enabling loading at two levels and reduce the turnaround time in port," MacGregor said in a press release.

The three dual-fuel, hybrid ferries are being built by the Polish Remontowa Shiprepair Yard, slated for delivery in 2025, 2026, and 2027.

Each 195 m long ro-pax will offer room for 400 passengers and 4,100 lane metres for trucks & trailers.

The vessels, flying Polferries and Unity Line's liveries, will connect Świnoujście with Ystad and Trelleborg.

"Remontowa is known for its professionalism, high quality and long-term environmental efforts, and we are delighted that our know-how and long experience has led the customer to choose us to deliver this comprehensive set of ro-ro equipment for these three ro-pax vessels," Magnus Sjöberg, SVP, Merchant Solutions Division, MacGregor, highlighted.

He also said, "I am also satisfied to see that we are able to support our customer's focus on sustainability, as in this case, reducing the fuel consumption by enabling shorter turnaround time in the ports."
