A decade after installing MoorMaster™ automated vacuum mooring at an iron ore berth in Western Australia, Pilbara Ports Authority has now selected Cavotec to secure availability and extend lifetime of its mooring system.
The fast-growing market for electrification and automation of ports worldwide is estimated to be worth several billion euros in the coming years. Cavotec will invest EUR 20M in technology, engineering and business development over the next five years to strengthen its leading position and meet the expected demand. The global Cavotec team will grow by 60%, with two thirds being engineers.
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.
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.
Shipping companies and ports worldwide can now make every minute matter, significantly reducing fuel consumption and increasing port productivity, with simpler and faster implementation of Cavotec’s next generation automated vacuum mooring solution.
