Straatman site inspection and system upgrade Strainstall

Our service engineers recently visited this terminal in Spain for a site inspection and system upgrade. The mooring and berthing system was originally delivered by Strainstall in 2006, and today, Straatman proudly maintains this expertise.

Since 2021, Straatman has managed all Quick Release Mooring Hook activities previously handled by Strainstall and AMTS. With in-house expertise, experience, and comprehensive documentation, we are prepared to support and enhance these systems globally.

350T Mooring Hook for FSO Nigeria

A new project completed at our factory: a red-painted 350-ton Quick Release Mooring Hook, ready for shipment to a respected offshore client in Nigeria. The unit will be installed on a Floating Storage and Offloading unit (FSO) and used during tandem offloading operations, where oil is transferred from the FSO to a shuttle tanker.

Tight deadline. Solid team. Job done.

In just 10 weeks, our factory team completed an urgent FSRU mooring project. The job included eight explosion-proof Quick Release Mooring Hook Units (2 x 150 tons each) and a central monitoring system. Not a small task.

Bow Coupling parts ready for Jan De Nul

Last Friday, we completed the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for two female parts for bow couplings for dredging vessels of Jan De Nul.

Mooring project installed at Turkmenbashi Oil Terminal

Last week, our engineers visited Offshore Oil Pier No. 3 in Kenar, Turkmenbashi, Turkmenistan to complete the Site Acceptance Test (SAT) and commissioning of our latest mooring project.

Straatman delivers Navigation Aid System for CALM Buoy

Off to Denmark – Another mooring system on the move!

Off to Denmark – Another mooring system on the move!

This week, another carefully engineered mooring system has left our factory in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands, and is now on its way to Denmark. We are proud to share a glimpse of this exciting project, developed in close cooperation with our partner MSB Industries.

The bow coupling, designed by Straatman

At Straatman Dredging & Construction, we don’t just make bow couplings – we invented them! In our Van De Graaf days, we introduced the first bow coupling, which has since become the global standard.

Our bow coupling enables a quick and efficient connection between hopper dredgers and floating pipelines, facilitating smoother beach and land reclamation operations.
