Both partners have developed nu- merous designs of specialized equip- ment including, in the area of deck machinery, all manner of hatch cov- ers. The range of covers designed vary from units for the largest bulk, OBO, and ore/oil carriers down to the smallest inland waterway ves- sel. Recent innovations for folding covers on medium sized vessels have included the self-engaging auto cleat and the gravity cover. The self- engaging auto cleat system uses angular interlocks, or wedges, on the cover side/coaming and at the cross joints to form the cleats. It has been incorporated in the "Direct Pull," "Foldtite," and "Foldlink" cover de- signs. The recent entry into service of Atlantic Container Line's container- roll-on/roll-off (CONRO) vessel At- lantic Companion also marked the introduction of the first full outfit of MacGregor-Navire's StackCell weatherdeck cell guide system.
