Cavotec wins a further automated mooring system order

MoorMaster unit

Lugano, Switzerland, headquartered Cavotec SA reports that it has signed an agreement with an undisclosed port operator to equip two berths at a terminal with MoorMaster automated mooring systems. Cavotec will design, supply and commission the MoorMaster automated mooring systems for the two berths. Deliveries are scheduled to start in 2019, with the systems entering service in 2020. The order value amounts to approximately EUR 10.3 million (about $11.7 million).

MoorMaster systems are designed to increase safety, reduce environmental impact, and increase operational efficiency by cutting mooring times and reducing vessel motion.

The first system was installed twenty years ago.

Today, around 280 MoorMaster units have performed some 500,000 moorings at ferry, bulk and container handling ports, as well as locks and ship-to-ship applications worldwide.
