. . . AND OUTSOURCES PRODUCTION OF END CARRIAGES

The mighty 38.000 HP “D’ARTAGNAN” is named after the famous character in The Three Musketeers. Two auxiliary vessels, “ARAMIS” and “BUCKINGHAM” were also christened at the same ceremony. The three vessels will sail under French colours and are owned and operated by Societe de Dragage International (SDI), the French subsidiary of Belgian Dredging, Environmental and Marine Engineering (DEME) Group.

KCI Konecranes is to outsource production of its end carriages to a company established by the existing management and personnel in the production unit located in Urjala, Finland. The Urjala production unit will also deliver steel structures to KCI Konecranes.
