Quick Release Mooring Hooks for Mooring Buoys

We apply the quick release mooring hooks on offshore mooring buoys. Therefore, the hook supports safe and controlled mooring in dynamic conditions. As standard, each mooring buoy quick release hook includes a rope keeper to prevent mooring lines from slipping due to wave motion.

We typically supply the hook as a single unit for integration into the buoy structure. However, multi-hook assemblies are also available when required.

Quick release hooks for mooring buoys

The GMH standard mooring hook is user-friendly, even when loaded to its full Safe Working Load (SWL). It features a two-step release mechanism to guard against unintentional openings. All our quick-release mooring hooks can be simply reset with a twist. During release, rubber blocks help mitigate the energy impact.

Our quick release hooks for mooring buoys come in an array of capacities, ranging from 40 to 200 tons (SWL per hook).

Wide range of options

Using a mooring hook on a buoy poses risks, particularly in rough weather or when the quick release is triggered while under load. We’ve engineered our products with the safety of mooring operators in mind, incorporating features such as a two-step release mechanism and rubber blocks that cushion energy impacts.

All our mooring buoy hooks can be equipped with the following options:

  • automatic and remote controlled release;
  • an integrated hydraulic power pack for automatic release;
  • an integrated calibrated load pin;
  • a solar power system;
  • explosion proof components in accordance with ATEX/IECex.

Telemetry system

We’ve designed a telemetry system that lets port operators manage their mooring buoys remotely for added safety. Features of the Straatman Telemetry system include:

  • integrated load monitoring software;
  • integrated automatic release software;
  • a sophisticated logging functionality storing all alarms, data and activities per vessel;
  • a portable device showing all integrated software, even suitable for a hazardous area (ATEX certified).

Utilising the Straatman Telemetry System for mooring buoys will result in:

  • increased safety of operators, equipment and environment;
  • the possibility to respond quickly to unsafe situations;
  • insight information about mooring data, which will lead to improvements.
