Navire Receives Order From Chinese Owners For Angled Stern Ramps

Navire Cargo Gear (NCG) has announced receipt of a large order for angled stern ramps from the People's Republic of China.

Involved are 11 new ro/ro vessels now under construction at several Japanese shipyards, with all ships scheduled for delivery during 1980. The contract, issued by China Merchants Steam Navigation, is for an NCG design based on the "PARALLA" type ramp.

I n d i v i d u a l stern ramps vary with vessel class, but all range in length from 32 to 36 meters (about 105 feet to 118 feet) and will handle standard 40-foot MAFI road trailers. The largest ramp, 16 meters wide (about 52 feet), will accept heavy load vehicles to 200 tons total weight, while all ramp systems will handle an extremely wide variety of fork-lift trucks, LUF units and other typical cargo vehicles. Ramps will be supplied by Kayaba Industry Company, Ltd., NCG's Japanese licensee.

For complete information on NCG's extensive line of cargo access equipment, contact Navire Cargo Gear, Box 8991, S-402, 74 Gothenburg, Sweden.
