CARGOTEC CORPORATION, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 17 JUNE 2010 AT 11:30 AM (EEST)

Cargotec has confirmed new orders worth around EUR 20 million to deliver

Each 37,000 dwt bulk carrier will be equipped with four cranes with a capacity

and delivery is planned by the end of 2012. The hatch cover order for these
vessels comprises design and key components for MacGregor 2 + 2 folding type
hatch covers, with a total of 20 panels on each ship.

Additionally, Cargotec is contracted to deliver design and key components for
MacGregor hatch cover sets for nine 82,000 dwt bulk carriers to be built at the
same shipyard, Zhejiang Ouhua Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. The hatch cover sets
comprise MacGregor rack-and-pinion side-rolling hatch covers to be delivered
starting from mid 2011."The crane and hatch cover outfits are an integral part of the cargo access and
handling ability of the vessels, and the MacGregor cargo handling solution
offers an efficient and reliable system for the shipowner," says Per-Erik
Nilsson, Cargotec sales and marketing director.
