MoorMaster improves safety and operational efficiency, optimises the ship-to-shore interface, and in many cases enables ports to make infrastructure savings.

MoorMaster automated mooring completes one million moorings

Our MoorMaster™ automated mooring systems have completed more than one million moorings at bulk, ferry, Ro/Ro, container handling and lock applications all over the world, making ports safer, more efficient and more sustainable.

MoorMaster dramatically improves safety and operational efficiency, optimises the ship-to-shore interface, and reduces emissions due to reduced use of tugs and ships' engines.

APM Terminals highlights MoorMaster’s role in port decarbonisation at APM Terminals MedPort Tangier

Cavotec will support the decarbonisation at APM Terminals MedPort Tangier by providing its next generation vacuum mooring system MoorMaster NxG. The automated transhipment terminal is one of the most technologically advanced, safest, and efficient terminals in the world.

MoorMaster uses remote controlled automated vacuum pads to moor and release vessels in seconds.

Latest MoorMaster system enters service in New Zealand

Maritime industry under pressure on emissions

One of the world’s most conservative sectors is now witnessing a fundamental shift as efforts are made to transform its environmental footprint under intense pressure from its stakeholders. Across the maritime industry – typically slow to change – steps are being taken to reduce emissions and operate more sustainably, with the ultimate goal of achieving zero emissions.

All set: a shore power dispenser unit charging the Vision of the Fjords at the Flåm berth in Norway.

Shore power, charging infrastructure could cut CO2 emissions in Norway by 12.5 million tonnes

Shore power and charging infrastructure could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 12.5 million tonnes at ports in Norway every year – this is one of the main conclusions of a report compiled by a pool of experts from ABB, DNV GL, the Port of Oslo, and Cavotec, working under the auspices of ReCharge, an initiative that seeks to pave the way for zero emission ports in the Scandinavian country.

Cavotec connects world’s largest super-yachts to shore power

Ever dreamt of drifting lazily on a luxury yacht? The Cavotec France team recently came a little closer to realising that dream – although no drifting was involved – when they installed a shore power connection system at Port Vauban, a marina located in Antibes on the French Riviera.

Power point: one of the two Cavotec shore power dispensers that charge the award-winning ferry.

Cavotec powers "Ship of the Year"

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.
