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.

Complete FSRU Mooring system for LNG terminal Finland

With the coldest part of the year kicking in, our team of engineers keep on rocking! In the cold and harsh environment of wintry Finland, we commissioned the complete mooring system for a newly built floating LNG terminal at Fortum’s Inkoo port, which is located at the Southern coast of Finland.

Mooring equipment LNG terminal Wilhelmshaven Germany

Last week we commissioned the complete mooring system for Germany’s first FSRU-based LNG Terminal, located in Wilhelmshaven in the North of Germany along the North Sea coast. The terminal will facilitate LNG import into the European market. Mid-December, the first FSRU can be docked.

Mooring system for LNG terminal Paldiski, Estonia

The complete mooring system for LNG terminal Paldiski in Estonia is commissioned last week and ready for use.

We are incredibly proud of the Straatman team! This project had a very challenging time scheme, as the LNG terminal needed to be operational within 6 months.

Our mooring and dredging expertise combined

A couple of years ago we used our expertise to design remotely operated 250 tons quick release hooks, equipped with a solar powered hydraulic powerpack. These are used by a mega cutter suction dredger on their left and right anchor line pontoons, for safe deployment and operation. The lines are used to move the ship in a left-to-right motion, sweeping their dredging work along the sea or river bed.

Straatman and Strainstall collaboration celebration

After 9 months of working virtually, it was great to meet in person at last!

Straatman and James Fisher Strainstall celebrate the first nine months of our relationship in servicing Strainstall’s legacy quick release hook customers. Due to Covid restrictions all contacts between Strainstall and Straatman have been online until last week, when we finally met in person.

Calandkanaal mooring project ready for installation

After a lot of hard work in the last months of last year, we are happy to inform you that we have successfully completed the assembly and testing of the 24 ATEX and Safe Area solar systems for the expansion of the berths 81 and 82 in the Calandkanaal, Port of Rotterdam. All systems were completely tested in our factory to ensure a smooth and efficient installation on site coming April 2022.

Dynamic Positioning Optimization using quick release hooks

For several years, our customer McDermott have been using our custom designed quick release mooring hooks on their pipelaying vessels.

Mooring project for Polimery Police

We are approaching completion of the engineering and production phase on one of our major projects of 2021; The Polimery Police project.

Polimery Police in Northwest Poland is one of the largest petrochemical projects currently implemented in Central and Eastern Europe, and includes a handling and storage terminal as well as logistics infrastructure.

Quick release mooring hook project for Equinor Kårstø terminal

Straatman accepted a fantastic order for a project at Equinor Kårstø terminal in Norway.
 
The Kårstø processing plant, located north of Stavanger, is the largest of its kind in Europe. The plant plays a key role in the transport and processing of gas and condensate from major sites of the northern parts of the North Sea.
