As explained, this will enable mooring operations to be undertaken without human intervention and supports the effective operation of the fully electric, zero-emission vessel.
The automated mooring system is scheduled to be delivered during the second half of 2019, according to MacGregor.
“We worked very closely with Kongsberg to identify the most suitable mooring solution and are proud to have developed an innovative, fully electrical system which increases safety and eco-efficiency compared with conventional mooring operations,” Høye Høyesen, Vice President, Advanced Offshore Solutions, MacGregor, commented.
