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.

Annual Load Calibration of Quick Release Mooring Hooks

Traditional vs. Straatman’s Method

The conventional calibration process requires 3 personnel and takes 5 days per jetty, leading to prolonged operational downtime and higher costs. However, Straatman’s innovative approach revolutionizes the process. In this blog, we explain the Straatman method. 

Engineering and commissioning QRH Projects Straatman

Recently, our engineering team conducted inspections and maintenance at two key mooring projects.

In the USA, our colleague Thijs inspected and provided training on the quick release hooks we delivered last year. These wireless hooks are installed on a barge, transporting monopiles for wind turbines, improving safety and efficiency.

At an offshore FLNG facility, our engineers calibrated and inspected quick release hooks with load monitoring and remote release control, ensuring the safe mooring of the FPSO.

Exciting updates from our factory floor!

Exciting updates from our factory floor! Several impressive projects are reaching their final stages or are ready for shipment to destinations all over the globe.

Each piece of equipment has been crafted with precision and care, from design to production. Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve been working on

Straatman first-line support is now available in the USA

First-line support is now available in the USA

Last week, Courtland Roberts, a technical sales representative from our US agent J.H. Menge, visited our headquarters in Zwijndrecht for a comprehensive training program on our Quick Release Mooring Hooks. This training will enable J.H. Menge to provide first-line support and direct maintenance and inspections for our US customers, saving them time and money.

Commissioning of mooring hooks project Iron Terminal Australia

Our team completed the commissioning of our quick release mooring hooks project at an Iron Terminal in Western Australia !

After a 32-hour flight journey, our engineers arrived and got everything up and running smoothly. These mooring hooks we delivered to the client last year are now fully operational.

Mooring equipment for USA offshore windfarm

Straatman has been awarded a contract to supply mooring equipment on barges for a USA Offshore wind farm project. 

We are pleased to announce that Straatman has been chosen to supply the quick release mooring hooks for Crowley.

Efficient In-hook Loadcell Calibration LNG berth Malaysia

Our recent project with Petronas involved the calibrating of the Mooring Load Monitoring Systems on their LNG Berth in Malaysia, equipped with Strainstall Quick Release Mooring Hooks.

In line with our takeover agreement with Strainstall three years ago, our engineers conducted a comprehensive inspection and verification of the current status of the Load Monitoring Systems. Post-verification, faulty load cells, and amplifiers were replaced to ensure the full berth was calibrated and operational again.

Quick Release Mooring Hooks with so-called hauling-in trolleys

At Straatman, we have all the expertise to meet special requirements of our clients. We recently have manufactured multiple 60T Quick Release Mooring Hooks with so-called hauling-in trolleys for a client in India. These trolleys, designed, manufactured, and tested in our factory in Zwijndrecht, will be used to haul in ships on a dry dock for the Indian Navy. 

Service visit QRMH and BAS Poland

Recently, our engineers visited the Alfa Terminal in Szczecin, Poland. This terminal is specialized in the trans-shipment and storage of bulk cargo and liquid chemical cargo.
