Trelleborg’s marine and infrastructure operation has
launched DynaMoor, a safety focused dynamic mooring solution that actively maintains constant
tension in mooring lines to dampen vessel movements, eliminating the effect that
passing ships and long-period waves have on moored vessels. This means DynaMoor
can increase port and terminal
throughput by allowing operations to continue in a wider range of conditions,
while improving safety and reducing operational costs.
DynaMoor actively dampens vessel motion, which increases the range of
environmental conditions in which cargo can be transferred, improving
throughput. The risk of parted lines and excessive
vessel excursion is significantly reduced, protecting people, assets and
increasing uptime. It further enhances safety by keeping constant tension in mooring lines, minimizing
‘snap back’ zones, and reduces the overall amount of wharf furniture required,
simplifying day-to-day operations. The system speeds up the berthing process
and minimizes workload and manual line handling, improving overall efficiency.
Richard Hepworth,
President of Trelleborg’s marine and infrastructure operation, says: “The marine industry is in a time of transition. With increasing vessel
sizes, the stakes grow higher. Since even a small error in docking and mooring can cause significant
damage or even cost lives, higher standards must be met. A demanding
environment requires that users of mooring systems adapt and innovate to ensure
efficient and safe solutions.
“Docking
and mooring has a critical role to play in optimizing the efficiency of both
the berth and the overall port facility. Process refinement is key. A lean
mooring philosophy aims to transform berthing strategies and enhance
operations. This approach enables greater control of the operational window,
optimizes berth utilization, lowers resource and space requirements, and
demands less time and infrastructure investment to increase berthing capacity.”
DynaMoor
combines the functionality of Trelleborg’s
class leading Quick Release Hook with constant tension capabilities to pay in
and out mooring lines, actively
maintaining constant tension in mooring lines. Used with the ship’s mooring
lines and winches or able to operate independently, DynaMoor can form part of a
complete jetty solution integrated with Trelleborg’s Quick Release Hooks,
AutoMoor, Smart Bollards, or be deployed as a separate system. DynaMoor units
can be rail mounted for a wide range of mooring configurations and can come
with an optional capstan fitted. Added
safety interlocks prevent inadvertent or unauthorized release. The system also
has the ability to release mooring lines remotely in an emergency and monitors loads in real time.
Trelleborg’s DynaMoor solution is SmartPortenabled and so has the ability to connect with other port assets, allowing port
operators to analyze asset performance and apply data insights, to improve
day-to-day decision making.
The next generation of mooring systems, DynaMoor combines Trelleborg's class leading Quick Release Hooks with an innovative constant tensioning system that improves throughput, efficiency and safety. Download PDF
