About us
Extreme weather conditions, such as swell, strong wind, current and the suction effect of passing vessels are all factors that can lead to unwanted movements for a vessel. This results in high loads on the mooring lines, preventing a vessel from loading, unloading or safely maintaining position while berthed. Over the course of the last decade the climate change seems to have made it even more challenging to secure vessels safely moored in Ports.
ShoreTension® stabilizes mooring, enhances safety.
ShoreTension® offers the solution to these problems. ShoreTension® ensures that your vessel remains securely and stably moored. The tension on the mooring lines remains constant because the dynamic mooring system regulates itself to user selected set tension limit. ShoreTension® is a dynamic mooring system in the form of a hydraulic cylinder and piston arrangement that operates independently from the conventional vessel mooring arrangement.
Extreme weather and nearby vessel suction can cause unwanted vessel movements.
ShoreTension® self-generates energy through the movements of the vessel.
When there is less tension on the lines, the ShoreTension system automatically retracts, and when there is more tension then a given threshold, ShoreTension® extends again. This process occurs continuously to maintain constant tension on the ShoreTension® mooring line.
As a result, movements are reduced by up to 90% compared to conventional mooring arrangements.
The significant advantage of ShoreTension® is its sustainability and the absence of external energy requirements. The client’s vessel is securely moored while loading and unloading operations can continue safely uninterrupted. This significantly increases operational efficiency and safety while reducing costs and saving time!
