The orders are booked into MacGregor’s first and second quarter 2026 order intake.
Recently won offshore load handling related modernization orders highlight MacGregor’s capability to provide value throughout the entire lifecycle of a vessel. These initiatives provide specialized engineering, extensive upgrades and modernizations designed to enhance the operational performance of the global fleet currently in service.
“Securing these contracts is a testament to our commitment to next-generation offshore technology,” said Tomas Hakala, SVP, Global Services at MacGregor. “We see a clear market trend where safety and precision are prioritized higher than ever, and we remain the partner of choice for these complex requirements.”
A key highlight of these recent modernization and upgrade contracts includes the total rebuild of the customer’s crane control systems. This project replaces obsolete components with the newest technological advancements currently featured on MacGregor’s latest newbuild cranes.
Additionally, the asset will be equipped with a brand-new, highly functional operator cabin boasting an advanced Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and enhanced operational features. MacGregor’s meticulously planned execution of similar projects in the past was a decisive factor in the owner placing their trust in the company once again.
Within the specialized field of modernizations and upgrades, MacGregor possesses industry-leading expertise across all technical disciplines, paired with a deep understanding of how equipment is operated in real-world conditions. This allows MacGregor to engineer bespoke upgrades tailored to the specific needs of each client and individual crane, maximizing asset utilization.
For vessel owners, this adaptability is extremely important, as it enables them to quickly configure existing cranes to qualify for new bids and emerging markets.
The success in the Offshore Load Handling modernization and upgrade projects achieved so far this year is driven by three core factors that differentiate MacGregor in a competitive market:
- Technical Solutions: Offering next-generation, high-precision technology that meets the increasingly complex demands of modern offshore operations.
