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.
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.
Cavotec CEO Mikael Norin has recorded a video message in which he speaks about our performance in 2021 and the success of our focus on cleantech solutions for ports and industrial applications, and how Cavotec is now at an inflection point, where previously niche markets are becoming mass markets.
Shore power is increasingly seen as an effective way to reduce emissions from ships in port. The problem has intensified in the wake of the pandemic, as cruise ships that previously stayed in ports for a matter of hours, stay at the same berths continually running their conventionally-powered engines. Cavotec's shore power solutions are addressing the issue.
The shipping industry is responsible for more than 2.5% of the world’s emissions. If the shipping sector were a country, it would be the sixth largest polluter in the world. But we can change this. We have the technology today that can be retrofitted to existing ships to reduce harmful emissions. We also have the technology to upgrade our ports to reduce pollution.
In recent weeks, ports around the world have been hit by delays and backlogs caused by factors including a surge in demand, a lack of empty containers, and the coronavirus – the latter manifesting as mass quarantining, social distancing, illness, and lockdowns. In the UK, these issues were compounded by fears of a no-deal Brexit.
How is Cavotec making profitable sustainability a reality for customers worldwide, ensuring a future world that is safer, more efficient, and more sustainable today? At a recent investors’ meeting event that we hosted in Stockholm and online, we set out how we’re a key enabler of profitable sustainability. We spoke to Memed Uzel, Cavotec’s Chief Commercial Officer, to find out more.
In our latest blog post on the future of shipping, our MoorMaster Product Manager, Nicklas Vedin, shares perspectives on the importance of every minute and how smarter mooring can help make the world a safer and greener place.
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.
Sustainable profitability or profitable sustainability? With its innovative automation and electrification solutions, engineering group Cavotec is achieving both, and in the process is enabling a sustainable future that makes financial sense. Cavotec has laid the foundations for the future, now it’s time for growth.
Cavotec will be at TOC Europe to meet customers who want to know more about our crane electrification, automated mooring, shore power, and connection and charging systems.
