MacGregor Wins

Redesign Contract

Under the first phase of a conversion project being undertaken by NASSCO, the shipyard has called upon MacGregor to redesign USNS Snoderman's 138 ft. (42 m) long slewing ramp to comply with new requirements.

The revision will allow the RoRo ramp to be deployed and used for vehi- cle access from a quay or floating dock platform, as well as amphibious mode.

The 11 vessels that have entered

NASSCO's Strategic Sealift Ship Pro- gram so far will be joined by an addition five, with three more next year, rounded out by the final ship in 2002.

Each MacGregor shipset holds two single-pedestal twin cranes - the largest pedestal-mounted rotating marine cranes ever installed - a stern slewing ramp, sideport ramp systems port and starboard, and various cargo handling vehicles.
