Cavotec wins substantial order for its automated mooring system

Under the terms of the contract, Cavotec will engineer, manufacture, install and commission 18 MoorMaster MM200C units, which will be used on an exposed container berth on the Mediterranean Sea which Cavotec cannot name at the request of the client.

By reducing mooring times to a matter of seconds, the MoorMaster units will deliver higher rates of productivity and utilisation that are not possible with conventional mooring methods.

MoorMaster now serves ferry, bulk handling, ro-ro, container and lock applications worldwide. This is the third location involving MM200Cs units at a dedicated container port, following last year\’s project where Cavotec provided a turnkey solution for 24 MoorMaster MM200C units and an order from the Port of Salalah in Oman for 12 MM200Cs in 2009.
