Successful commissioning at Alfa Terminal in Poland

As soon as the borders opened again, our engineers started the commissioning of the Quick Release Mooring Hooks and Berthing Aid System at the Alfa Terminal. This terminal, located in Szczecin in Poland, is specialized in trans-shipment and storage of bulk cargo and liquid chemical cargo.

Port of Amsterdam signs service and maintenance contract with Straatman

In 2019 we finished commissioning the project for Solar Power Systems and Quick Release Mooring Hooks for the Port of Amsterdam. Because safety is top priority for this port, they decided to sign a service and maintenance contract for these hooks and solar systems. Every 3 months our service engineers will inspect and service all systems and last month we performed the first maintenance at this location.

Installation of load monitoring systems on already installed Quick Release Hooks

In 2019 we installed a new project consisting of our award winning Solar power systems combined with Quick Release hook units at the Port of Hamburg. Recently we equipped each Quick Release Hook with a load cell, to measure the mooring loads on the separate hooks. The alarms set by the client, visualization and history of the mooring loads are integrated in our software platform. Once a vessel is moored to the dolphin, the actual load value of each load cell will be sent by LoRa communication. The online dashboard shows the data of the loadcells combined for each dolphin. 

Port of Amsterdam becomes sustainable

In December 2019 we finished commissioning and did a successful site acceptance test for our Solar Systems and Quick Release Mooring Hooks in the Port of Amsterdam. On 8 monopiles in the Buitenspuikanaal in IJmuiden our solar systems and quick release hooks are now in use to the satisfaction of the port operators.

Alfa Terminal - Poland ready to be commissioned

After the summer of 2019 we have successfully completed and transported an order for quick release mooring hooks and a berthing aid system. 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.

Where are Straatman's agents located and where have we delivered our products in 2019?

From request to delivery: what does a quick release hook custom project entail?

It is important to know that the quick release hook is our basic product and can be modified to suit your needs. The customizable aspects of the quick release hook are very comprehensive and exceed more than color, size and type of hook. Tell us about your plans and the purpose of the hooks, so that we can define the required adjustments.

Completed orders for FPSO Quick Release Hooks

This week we completed 2 orders of so called FPSO Hooks, also known as Offshore Quick Release Hooks. 

PORT OF HAMBURG BECOMES SUSTAINABLE

In the last quarter of 2019 Straatman succesfully completed the order for 19 sets of quick release mooring hooks and solar system. This big project was executed for 19 Dolphins in the Elbe close to the Finkenwerder area in the port of Hamburg. The complete project consisted of a new-built waiting area for seagoing vessels.
