Straatman Q4 (2023) assisted multiple port terminals

Greater focus and efficiency

We are happy to introduce to you our refreshed identities as we decided to separate our dredging activities from our mooring activities. This strategic decision allows us to dedicate specialized attention to each facet of our business, ensuring enhanced focus and efficiency. As part of this, we are proud to introduce Straatman Dredging & Construction. This consolidation brings together our renowned dredging expertise with the capabilities of our sister company, MFS Construction, under one unified banner. This synergy positions us even more strongly to meet the needs of our valued clients and partners. The mooring activities will continue under the identity of Straatman Mooring Systems.

Commissioning Smart Bollard project at MSC Terminal Valencia

Our engineering team was in Valencia for the commissioning of the Smart Bollards at the terminal which is dedicated to the world's largest container shipping company, MSC. Why the switch from standard bollards to smart ones? MSC wants to safely moor its massive container vessels. Bad weather, high waves, and storms can put too much load on the mooring lines. If they break, the ship could drift away, causing serious accidents. But with Smart Bollards, we can prevent this.

Mooring equipment for newly built LNG Terminal in Germany

We are currently reaching the final stage of an LNG mooring project: A newly built LNG Terminal located on the island of Rügen (Mukran), situated on the German Baltic Coast. This location will have two floating units for storage and receiving LNG. For a safe and efficient mooring of the carriers to the terminal, we manufactured all quadruple, triple, and double 150T Quick Release Mooring Hooks, the Environmental Monitoring Systems, and a control panel including our MoorControl software.

Berthing Aid Systems for MET Terminal

In collaboration with Radio Holland, we have executed a project for the Maatschappelijk Europort Terminal (MET). We provided new Berthing Aid displays, suitable for hazardous areas, a new wind sensor, and our MoorControl Software. We also repurposed existing lasers to interface with our new BAS displays.

LNG Event in London

We had a great time at the LNG Conference last November in London. Our colleague Prabjot delivered a lightning talk and we got to share our ideas about the future of Ship-to-Shore Link (SSL) and they were well received. All visitors were invited to engage in our conversations about SSL and they provided us with valuable insights. Are you looking for a flexible SSL supplier for your next SSL project? Contact us!
