About
Cornwall Council awarded a contract to William Hackett Chain Products Limited for the supply of main chains for the Torpoint ferries.
The contract covers the supply of four pairs of chains and an additional 150-metre length of chain for tunnel chain replacement, with a total value of AUD 461,063.
