Nowadays with the growing concern for operational safety in ports around the world, port operators have taken to automating mooring operations. The installation of quick release mooring hooks is becoming more and more common in ports the world over. The hooks, combined with an electronic system for monitoring the tensions in the cables, allow the anticipation of problems during mooring, avoiding accidents and damage to the port or to the ship.


Quick Release Mooring Hooks:
• Tested with loads 50% above the nominal load
• Capacities of 20 to 200 tons
• Hooks with manual or remote release. The remote release can be electric, hydraulic or pneumatic
• Can be supplied with explosion-proof certificate for dangerous areas.
• Integrated capstans can be supplied

The monitoring system allows the visualization of the acting tensions, and in case of overloading, alarms can be sounded to alert to situations of risk, allowing the early correction of the problem.


Monitoring system:
• The loads on each hook are visualized independently in real time on the screen of a PC and, optionally, can be visualized via a pager
• Can be easily installed on existing hooks of other manufacturers
• Visual and audible alarms can be adjusted to alert to situations of overloading and unbalancing between the lines

Low installation cost, as just one cable is required for communication between the hooks and to the control panel
