A Smarter Approach to docking & mooring The marine industry is in a time of transition and change. We must constantly adapt and innovate to ensure efficient, safe solutions in an increasingly demanding environment. Docking and mooring has a critical role to play in optimizing the efficiency of both the berth and the overall port facility. Process refinement is key. That’s why, at Trelleborg, we have rethought our approach, introducing a new concept we call lean mooring. The lean mooring philosophy aims to transform berthing strategies and deliver superior efficiency in operations. A lean...

Get the advantage of automated mooring Many ports and terminals are looking towards automated technologies to cope with increased demand and compete effectively in today’s complex, global landscape. The benefits of terminal automation lie in increased reliability, safety and efficiency both in scheduling and throughput. With 45% of all container vessels currently delayed by over eight hours upon arrival, there is an immediate need to raise port efficiency. operation at the berth is increased, meaning more vessel throughput, less time required to transfer the product and, ultimately, an...

Introducing AutoMoor AutoMoor is Trelleborg’s rope-free, automated mooring system designed to make your berthing operations smarter, safer and more competitive. AutoMoor units eliminate mooring lines and are specifically designed to improve operational efficiency and enhance safety levels. Combining new vacuum pad and passive damping technology to rapidly attach to and secure a vessel at berth, the units are suitable for a range of environmental and berthing conditions. AutoMoor uses SmartPort technology to connect assets and to continuously monitor all mooring loads acting on the vessel at...

Key objectives of AutoMoor Improves efficiency Minimizes infrastructure costs ❙ Reduces turnaround time for vessels to berth ❙ Minimizes infrastructure upgrades while and depart, increasing port throughput. Vessels can be securely moored in under a minute, and released upon departure in less than 30 seconds. ❙ Reduces vessel motions whilst at berth by limiting peak mooring loads caused by natural sway and surge forces. ❙ Less reliance on tug boats for berthing and de- berthing reduces waiting and scheduling delays. ❙ Decreases port emissions thanks to the reduced time taken to moor the...

Benefits across all port industry sectors Ferry terminals: speed up turnaround to increase profitability Cruise terminals: take advantage of the growing cruise market Margins are tight: it’s all about efficient turnaround. The faster a vessel is secured at berth, the better. Being judged on emissions means the pressure is on to reduce carbon footprints and comply with IMO rules by 2020. The booking industry is demanding new routes, new locations and new vessels, while infrastructure must be improved to deliver a better passenger experience. Cruise lines are selective over their ports of...

Container terminals: increase throughput for competitive advantage Pressure to increase throughput while dealing with increasing vessel sizes make operations a constant battle for efficiency gain and cost reduction. Maximizing operational windows without holding the vessel at berth any longer is a clear route to improving operational efficiency. AutoMoor substitutes mooring lines with units specifically designed to dampen vessel motions and provide real-time data to monitor mooring loads. AutoMoor gives operators control and eliminates disputes in cases of mooring line failure. By reducing...
