MoorMaster™ automated mooring at the St. Lawrence

This film shows how specially adapted MoorMaster™ automated mooring units hold vessels securely through variations in water level of up to 14m at the St. Lawrence Seaway in Canada - the world's first inland waterway to introduce automated mooring. MoorMaster™ replaces conventional mooring lines with remote controlled vacuum pads which moor and release vessels in seconds.
