MacGregor secures retrofit contract for 35 Wallenius Wilhelmsen vessels

MacGregor has secured a contract to upgrade Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems aboard 35 Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) vessels operated by Wallenius Wilhelmsen.

The agreement covers the modernisation of control systems for the vessels’ quarter ramps. MacGregor recorded the order in its third-quarter 2026 order intake, although the company did not disclose its value.

The upgrades will take place according to each vessel’s sailing schedule and availability. This approach will allow Wallenius Wilhelmsen to coordinate the retrofit work with its existing fleet operations.

The retrofit programme focuses on replacing existing PLC systems that control the vessels’ quarter ramps. The upgrades aim to maintain equipment reliability and reduce the risk of operational disruptions.
