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.

In cooperation with our local representative, Straatman accepted a fantastic order for LNG terminal Paldiski in Lahepere Bay in Estonia. Since the terminal needs to be operational in Q4-2022 the delivery time was one of the main selection points of the local contractor. As Straatman still manufactures most of the parts in-house, we are able to meet this very challenging time schedule.

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.

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.
