Mooring Systems Smart Bollard Measures the load on mooring lines, delivering realtime data to port authorities and terminal operators. Straatman - Smart Bollard - A4 folder.indd 1

What is the Smart Bollard? The Smart Bollard is a bollard that measures the vector load and angle on the bollard generated by the mooring lines. It measures, by using industrial sensors inside the bollard, the loads of the mooring lines on the bollard by sensing and translating structural movement caused by the mooring line tension. The Smart Bollard can be used for all seagoing vessels, such as container and bulk carriers. Why a Smart Bollard? Until now it was not possible to continuously measure mooring line loads of moored vessels. The lack of exact data measured on moored vessels means...

'Á/$( ä(*)$/*-$)"ä With the Smart Bollard safety can be monitored in real-time. The actual data will be available for the port authority, terminal operator or the vessel itself. The Smart Bollard is integrated in the Straatman MoorControl Software. This software is available in the cloud, accessible with every common browser. The dashboard provides all information necessary to fully use all capabilities of the Smart Bollard.
