Integrated Mooring & Berthing Systems
Reliable mooring and berthing systems for ports, terminals and offshore facilities. Straatman designs and manufactures complete solutions that improve safety, control and efficiency during vessel berthing and mooring operations.
Mooring systems for critical marine operations
Safe berthing and mooring depend on more than individual products. Hooks, capstans, monitoring systems and control interfaces must work together as one reliable system.
Straatman Mooring Systems develops and manufactures integrated mooring and berthing solutions for ports, LNG terminals, oil and gas terminals, offshore facilities and other demanding marine environments. From engineering and production to installation, commissioning and service, we help operators improve safety, reduce operational risk and maintain control during every mooring operation.

Our Mooring and Berthing Solutions
Every terminal has different operational risks, vessel types and safety requirements. Straatman offers a complete range of mooring equipment and monitoring systems that can be supplied as stand-alone products or as part of one integrated mooring solution.
Safe and controlled release under load for terminals where reliability, safety and fast operation are critical.
Capstans
Robust line-handling equipment for smooth, controlled and efficient mooring operations.
Berthing aid system (BAS)
Real-time approach monitoring to support safe berthing with accurate distance and speed information.
Environmental Monitoring System (EMS)
Wind, current and environmental data to help operators assess conditions during berthing and mooring.
Mooring Load Monitoring System (MLMS)
Line tension monitoring to detect overload risks and support safer mooring decisions.
MoorControl
Centralized monitoring and control of mooring equipment, alarms and operational data.
Solar Power Systems
Autonomous power supply for remote, offshore or difficult-to-access marine installations.
Quick Release Towing Hooks
Reliable towing hook systems with quick release functionality for safe towing operations.
Integrated mooring systems for safer terminal operations
A complete mooring system is more than a collection of equipment. Quick release hooks, capstans, load monitoring, berthing aid systems, environmental data and central control must work together to support safe and efficient operations.
Straatman designs integrated mooring solutions that give operators better control over vessel movement, line loads, environmental conditions and system status. This is particularly important for LNG terminals, oil and gas terminals and other high-risk marine environments. In these operations, safety, uptime and clear decision-making are critical.
Applications
- LNG terminals
- Oil and gas terminals
- Container ports
- Bulk terminals
- Offshore and marine installations
- Jetty and quay facilities
- New-build terminals and retrofit projects

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a mooring system?
A mooring system is used to secure a vessel safely at a quay, jetty or terminal. It can include mooring hooks, capstans, load monitoring, berthing aid systems and Smart Bollards.
What is the difference between mooring and berthing?
Berthing is the process of guiding a vessel safely towards the quay or jetty. Mooring is the process of securing the vessel once it is alongside, usually using mooring lines and dedicated equipment such as hooks, capstans and monitoring systems.
When do you need an integrated mooring system?
An integrated mooring system is recommended for terminals where safety, operational control and efficiency are critical. This includes LNG terminals, oil and gas terminals and high-traffic ports where multiple systems must work together to reduce risk and support decision-making during mooring operations.
Which mooring systems are used at LNG terminals?
LNG terminals typically require a combination of quick release mooring hooks, berthing aid systems, mooring load monitoring, environmental monitoring and ship-to-shore communication systems. These systems are often integrated to ensure safe operations under strict safety and regulatory requirements.
What is a mooring load monitoring system?
A mooring load monitoring system measures the tension in mooring lines during operations. This helps operators detect overload situations, respond to changing conditions and reduce the risk of line failure or vessel movement.
How do mooring systems improve safety in ports and terminals?
Mooring systems improve safety by controlling vessel movement, monitoring line loads and providing operators with real-time data. Integrated systems reduce human error and help prevent incidents during berthing and mooring operations.
Can mooring systems be retrofitted in existing terminals?
Yes, many mooring systems such as load monitoring, control systems and berthing aid systems can be installed in existing terminals. Retrofitting allows operators to improve safety and operational control without rebuilding the entire infrastructure.
What should you consider when selecting a mooring system supplier?
Key factors include technical expertise, experience in similar projects, ability to deliver integrated systems, compliance with international standards and availability of service and spare parts. For complex terminals, system integration and long-term support are critical.
