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.

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.
