Mooring load monitoring system

The Straatman Mooring Load Monitoring System (MLMS) is a state-of-the-art system crafted to continuously measure the load on quick release hooks. Each of these hooks comes equipped with a precise load cell that accurately gauges the mooring loads on every individual hook. 

Our advanced software suite offers an integration of visual representation of the mooring loads, archival of past data, and alarms set as per client requirements. When a vessel is anchored securely to the dolphin, the real-time load value of each load cell is relayed instantly to the monitoring software. This electronic dashboard presents a lucid overview of the load across all lines. If these loads breach the set maximum thresholds, operators will receive instantaneous alerts, facilitating swift response. 

The mooring loads and alarms can be viewed and recorded in various ways:

  • Direct display(s) on the hook itself.
  • A high-resolution TFT colour monitor located in the control room.
  • Displays integrated within a bespoke control panel, compatible with remote control functions. 

Integration with a berthing aid system

Furthermore, the mooring load monitoring system can be effortlessly amalgamated with a berthing aid system. This method guarantees that all crucial data is observed, displayed, and stored within a consolidated framework.

Installation of a mooring load monitoring system

The installation of the Mooring Load Monitoring System is designed for adaptability. It can be incorporated with new quick release hook units at our production centre, or it can be added to existing systems on-site. Our proficient team of engineers has designed a system that's not only lightweight but also convenient to move. This advancement sidesteps the conventionally demanding and weather-sensitive need for cranes during on-site load monitoring system installations. Such a refined procedure not only conserves time but also boosts operational efficiency.
