MoorMaster® Automated Mooring MoorMaster® is a vacuum-based automated mooring technology that eliminates the need for conventional mooring lines. Remote controlled vacuum pads recessed in, or mounted on the quayside or pontoons, moor and release vessels in seconds. MoorMaster dramatically improves safety and operational efficiency, optimises the ship-to-shore interface, and in many cases enables ports to make infrastructure savings. The technology helps ports boost their revenue and lets shipping lines save time and fuel. Thanks to its modular design and vacuum pads that attach to any flat surface,...

Mooring in less than 30 seconds • Faster turn-around times and more ship calls result in improved productivity • Reduced energy consumption and emissions from tugs and vessel thrusters • Reduced cruising speeds result in reduced energy consumption • More than 90% reduction in emissions during ship berthing due to reduced use of tugs and ship engines • Fast and simple connection to shore power • Reduced erosion of seabed driving cost savings Mooring at the push of a button by one remote operator • Frees up resources such as tugs and hands-on crews • Reduces risk of mooring accidents as personnel...

Two decades after the first MoorMaster system entered service, this unique technology remains the only widely used vacuum mooring technology on the market. Over the years, Cavotec has developed MoorMaster systems for a wide range of applications and customer requirements. Container MoorMaster closes the technological gap between container ships and today’s highly automated facilities, and is increasingly seen as part of fully automated port design. MoorMaster secures vessels up to and including Super Post-Panamax vessels with a capacity of more than 20,000 TEUs in a matter of seconds, enabling...

ShorePower Systems Shore power technologies, also called cold ironing or Alternative Maritime Power (AMP), enable the connection of ships in port to shore side electricity to power on board services. This enables ships’ diesel generators to be switched off, thereby reducing noise and emissions, (such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, carbon oxides, and volatile organic compounds). Since 2012, an international standard on shore power has been in place to ensure worldwide compatibility between ports and vessels. Shore connection is included in California’s CARB regulations,...

ShorePower for passenger terminals ShorePower for Ro/Ro and ferry applications According to the international shore connection standard, shore power cables for Ro/Ro and passenger vessels must be connected from the shore to the ship, rather than using on board systems. PowerRange • 30 seconds to connect and disconnect • High operational flexibility and safety with telescopic boom, operated with radio remote control system • Able to connect vessels’ different hatch positions • Adjusts to tidal, weather conditions • Highly accurate hatch connection PowerReach • 30 seconds to connect and disconnect...

Shore power for e-vessels Cavotec is proud to be part of the journey towards autonomous vessels and a zero emission shipping industry. Cavotec’s solutions are already connecting and charging e-vessels in over 30 ports around the world. Cavotec has developed a broad range of innovative onshore power supply solutions for charging e-vessels, from manual to fully automated connection systems. Our ShorePower Next Generation (NxG) solutions for e-vessels come with modern designs that blend seamlessly in to port and public environments. PowerAdaptNxG is a counterweight solution, allowing automatic connection...

Electrification of mobile equipment As national and international legislative requirements on environmental standards in ports continue to be tightened, the industry has been intensifying efforts to operate more efficiently and more sustainably. The electrification of cranes and other mobile equipment is a major step towards this goal. Cavotec supports customers with the design of advanced electrification systems that maximise asset utilisation. We design and manufacture motorised cable reels, Panzerbelt cable protection systems and power connectors according to specific technical requirements...

Crane electrification Cavotec’s extensive experience and comprehensive range of innovative technologies help customers to connect and electrify STS, RTG, ASC, RMG and mobile harbour cranes, thereby improving efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Motorised cable reels Cavotec manufactures motorised cable reels for horizontal, vertical, continuous and intermittent use for ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, automatic stacking cranes, (ASC), rail-mounted gantry, (RMG), E-RTG, and other ship loaders. 1. Motor (with drive) Standard squirrel cage or torque motors, according to IEC Norms. Hydrodynamic...
