Straatman developed a smart bollard in collaboration with Port of Rotterdam

Along the quay of the Hutchison Ports ECT Delta terminal on the Maasvlakte, the Port of Rotterdam Authority has installed a smart bollard as part of a trial. The smart bollard was developed in collaboration with Straatman BV. By measuring the strain on the mooring lines in real time, the bollard not only allows the real-time monitoring of safety, but it also provides a clearer picture of which vessels can moor at which quays.

The advantages of a custom-made capstan

Capstans are used for safe and efficient handling of mooring lines. Freestanding mooring capstans are used to pull the mooring line, from the vessel to the dolphin. In these cases, they are combined with bollards or basic quick release hooks. Our standard capstans are driven by high-quality electrical motors.

Alfa Terminal - Poland ready to be commissioned

Meanwhile our products have been installed by  contractor F+Z Baugesellschaft on the Alfa Terminal in Szczecin - Poland. Our engineers will execute the commissioning and site acceptance tests of this project soon.

Completion of Dredging Ball Joint

This week we successfully completed the production, assembly, and test of a quick release ball joint with an inner diameter of 700 mm. This specific type of ball joint, also known as pinch ball joint, will be used on a cutter suction dredger.
