Mooring load monitoring system

The Straatman Mooring Load Monitoring System (MLMS) is an advanced system purpose-built for the ongoing measurement of load on quick release hooks. These hooks are equipped with a distinct load cell that carefully gauges the mooring loads on every individual hook. 

Our software platform consolidates the visualisation of the mooring loads, historical records, and alarms set by the client. When a vessel is anchored firmly to the dolphin, the genuine load value from each load cell is promptly relayed to the monitoring software. This electronic dashboard offers a transparent overview of the load on each line. If these loads exceed the previously set maximum thresholds, swift alerts are issued to the operators, ensuring timely intervention.

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

  • Direct display(s) on the actual hook.
  • A high-resolution TFT colour monitor located in the control room.
  • Built-in displays in a dedicated control panel, which can be connected to remote control functionalities. 

Integration with a berthing aid system

The mooring load monitoring system can also be effortlessly integrated with a berthing aid system. This method ensures all relevant data is observed, depicted, and stored cohesively.

Installation of a mooring load monitoring system

Setting up the Mooring Load Monitoring System provides adaptability. It can be combined with new quick release hook units right at our production plant or added to existing structures on-site. Our group of adept engineers has devised a system that's not just lightweight but also simple to move. This design sidesteps the old-fashioned, cumbersome, and weather-sensitive necessity of employing cranes for on-the-spot load monitoring installations. Such a refined strategy not only conserves effort but also bolsters the effectiveness of the installation phase.
