Marine systems innovator Cavotec has won important MoorMaster™ automated mooring orders from existing MoorMaster™ customer, the Port of Salalah in Oman, for use at two container berths – another sign of the increasing acceptance of this innovative mooring technology by the global shipping sector.
We're delighted that the carbon fibre passenger ferry, Vision of the Fjords, has been named "Ship of the Year" at SMM in Hamburg, the world's leading maritime trade fair. This extraordinary battery-powered hybrid vessel relies on Cavotec shore power systems to charge its battery units.
Our innovative mooring technology for ships, MoorMaster™, recently achieved a landmark 200,000 moorings at applications worldwide, highlighting the growing acceptance of this unique technology.
During 1H16 and the first weeks of 3Q16, leading engineering group Cavotec has won more orders for its innovative shore power systems with a total value of approximately EUR 11.5 million, underlining the Group’s central position in this growing segment, and the ports sector as a whole.
Cavotec's MoorMaster™ automated mooring technology has registered two major breakthroughs — completion of At Sea Demonstrations of the US Navy's Advanced Mooring System; and a second order for a combined MoorMaster™ and battery charging system for a hybrid passenger ferry application — underscoring the acceptance of MoorMaster™ in the industry, and the technology's substantial market potential.
