Smart Bollards installed at ECT Terminal Port of Rotterdam

Back to the place where it all began: After the successful trial of one Smart Bollard along the quay of Hutchison Ports ECT (Europe Container Terminals) Rotterdam in the Port of Rotterdam, we recently installed 6 pcs of 100T Smart Bollards at the same terminal enabling Port of Rotterdam to measure mooring forces on an entire vessel!

Straatman goes green!

At Straatman we take our responsibility for a sustainable future both in our offices and factory and by the products we make and deliver. But this week we took green more literally as we are currently finalizing an interesting project for equipment to be installed on an Offshore Wind Farm. 

Colorful projects

You can have any color, as long as it is black” is a quote from Henry Ford, which we can adhere to from time to time. Simply because we powder coat a lot of construction parts in black. But now we have to admit color…

Solar powered mini capstans

We engineer and manufacture custom designed capstans in any shape and size. For this project we were asked to provide a winching solution for a remote and powerless area. Our off grid solar powered system provides the required energy for a 1.5kW capstan, giving it a hauling speed of ±15m/min and a running pull capacity of 500kg!

Smart Constructions for Horticulture

This week we completed another cool project for one of our customers in the horticulture sector. We were allowed to carry out the welding and construction work for so-called cucumber tilting machines.

Hands-on training mooring equipment

Upon the initial vessel's arrival, our service engineers revisited the multiple terminals where our mooring equipment was recently installed. Their objective is to ensure the smooth integration of our equipment and to provide comprehensive hands-on training to terminal operators. This direct, onsite training is essential for equipping operators with the knowledge and skills necessary to handle the equipment safely and effectively. By empowering operators to identify and address potential challenges independently, we enhance operational efficiency and reduce reliance on external support. This proactive approach not only fosters a sense of confidence and competence among operators but also contributes to the overall reliability and performance of our mooring systems.

Through diligent oversight and targeted training initiatives, we remain committed to delivering continuous service and support to our clients, ensuring the seamless operation of their terminals.

Urgent delivery of mooring equipment to terminal in Germany

End of November we were called by a German client as they were facing a problem at the LNG terminal in Brunsbüttel. This terminal is located in the North of Germany, along the Elbe river, close to Hamburg. The client had several mooring hook units which have been rejected after an inspection. With a ship coming in within a few weeks, Straatman was asked to deliver new triple Quick Release Mooring Hook units in just three weeks.
