Cavotec\u2019s MoorMaster-as-a-Service offers a new way for ports to access the MoorMaster technology and a new way to increase productivity, reduce environmental impact, and improve safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have long recognised that one of the biggest obstacles to greater port automation is perceived complexity and upfront investment. Now, we\u2019re eliminating that and providing a completely new business model, making automated mooring more accessible than ever to ports around the world,\u201d said Mikael Norin, CEO of Cavotec.<\/p>\n
No upfront investment<\/strong><\/p>\n Under a MoorMaster as a Service contract, Cavotec offers customers zero upfront investment and a full performance guarantee. Cavotec installs the hardware and covers all of the maintenance costs in a fully managed service. This makes it possible for ports to take full advantage of their new, improved operations with mooring in less than a minute, reduced environmental impact, and the elimination of hazardous mooring lines.<\/p>\n \u201cWe take care of all practicalities, including installation and maintenance, with multiple service levels to choose from. Ports will have a \u2018set-and-forget\u2019 subscription plan, with either flat or variable fees and guaranteed performance,\u201d added Norin.<\/p>\n MoorMaster eliminates the need for conventional mooring lines by replacing them with automated vacuum pads that moor and release vessels in seconds. Its Active Control technology minimises vessel motion, thereby drastically improving port productivity.<\/p>\n Cavotec is setting up a Service \u2018Command Centre\u2019 that will monitor and optimise existing and new MoorMaster systems 24\/7.<\/p>\n In 2020, Cavotec launched its next generation system, MoorMaster NxG, which is designed for easy integration into existing, operating terminals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The world\u2019s first subscription-based automated mooring service has launched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1504,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[62,63],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-1503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-equipment","category-products-services"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1503"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1503\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1505,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1503\/revisions\/1505"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1503"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=1503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
