PG has since its innaguration in 1982, specialized in cargo handling systems for Offshore Service Vessels and Special Tankers (heavy chemicals, bitumen, liquid sulphur) - and through this won a Global Leadership for such applications, with in excess of 1.100 ship-installations in operation.
Ranging from simple electric-drive pumps, to the most comprehensive automated, bridge-integrated computerized solutions - either frequency controlled, or hydraulically driven systems.
In the high-end of these applications, the proprietary, world-wide patented PG-MACS® solution reigns - in which wet and dry bulk cargo, recovered oil, fuel oil and Drill Cuttings are handled in multi-purpose, athmosperic tanks below deck.

| Basic info on Drill Cuttings | PG-MACS basic description |
Drill Cuttings:
Loading from drilling-rig via hose-handling-systems to below deck, hull-integrated tanks. Discharge to shore processing plant for reconditioning, or to reinjection rig offshore.
Dry bulk:
Combination tanks for dry- and liquid- bulk omits the need for dedicated pressure-vessels for dry-bulk
Rig Slop:
Hazardous rig slops safely transported below deck - to avoid spillage, or loss of containers on deck. Freeing deck space for other cargo 
NOFO 2005 ORO:
Meeting all requirements in revised ORO-regulations September 2005, as only Multiple Application System
General Liquid Cargo:
Pump and Agitator-function to cater for Liquid Mud-, Brine- and other regular cargo-functions over same equipment

Each of these ultramodern PSV's - in all conserns - will be equipped with a cluster of 8 PG-MACS® ( Multi Application Cargo Solution ) tanks - with full flexibility in shift between liquid and dry cargo, NOFO 2005 ORO Recovered Oil services, and Drill Cuttings & Rig Slop below deck.
In addition to this, the vessels will have as much as 12 dedicated chemical-, special cargo-, product- tanks surrounding the PG-MACS® system - for which PG has developed an IMO 673-compliant twin-screw, deepwell pump in all AISI 316 materials.
Bourbon announcement
Since its launch August 22nd 2006, during the offshore conference ONS in Stavanger, PG-MACS® has won great acclaim, and is currently being implemented into more than 40 different designs of PSV’s, AHTS’s and STB Vessels world-wide!
Focus on Drill Cuttings Handling is escalating, as environment issues are increasingly brought to the agenda. PG-MACS® offer the only complete solution to these challenges, in competitive combination with daily-work-applications for other cargo handling features of such tonnage.
........................................................................................................
Ps;
The Bourbon-announcement also comprise another 28 x GPA 254 AHTS's, and 14 x GPA 654 PSV's newbuildings i.e. 46 in total; for which PG shall deliver Cargo Handling Systems to all of them!

DOF ASA goes for high-spec, environmental friendly AKER 06 PSV
Combined with a comprehensive liquid cargo system of regular technology, this new order also cover an 8-tank PG-MACS® -configuration, in which the vessel will have full Multi-Application Cargo facilities such as Drilling Cuttings, Dry Bulk, Liquid Cargo and NOFO 2005 Recovered Oil features
Both environmental aspects, and not least the ships very dynamic cargo flexibility is significantly enhanced through this installation, and combined with the novel LNG power plant represent a most futuristic oriented ships concept in total. PG share the great expectations of AKER Yards and DOF ASA for this development, which is a true bench-mark for future oriented ships design.
