Cavotec has signed an agreement with Port of Salalah in Oman to perform service of its 32 installed MoorMaster vacuum mooring units.
Cavotec has already supported the port in its transition by equipping its berths with MoorMaster, an automated mooring technology. With this new service agreement, Cavotec aims to contribute to Port of Salalah’s efficiency and throughput by minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous operation of essential equipment.
Vacuum mooring units (VMUs) are devices used to secure vessels to a berth or dock without the need for traditional mooring lines. These units use vacuum suction to attach themselves firmly to the hull of a vessel, providing a fast method of mooring.
Port of Salalah not only puts operational excellence first – the assignment also means that we must perform our services and ensure reliability under challenging weather conditions. This is an important capability that further strengthens our competitiveness.
