Cavotec unveils next generation automated vacuum mooring system

Cavotec has launched the MoorMaster NxG, its next generation automated vacuum mooring solution for vessels berthing at ports, aiming to reduce fuel consumption and increase port productivity.

The system aims to revolutionise the way ships enter and leave ports, with mooring in as little as 30 seconds to drastically reduce docking times.

Overhauling the traditional way of anchoring ships to port using ropes and chains, which often takes up to one hour, can enable shipping companies to make every minute of their journey matter according to the Switzerland-based company.
