The Estonian port will refurbish two of its ferry berths with Cavotec's MoorMaster™ automated mooring system.

Cavotec will design, supply, commission, and service two multi-unit MoorMasters, which, once operational, will moor the ro-paxes employed in Tallinn's traffic to and from Helsinki (where the same system has been in use since 2016).

According to the manufacturer, by removing conventional lines from the mooring process, hence reducing mooring times and vessel motion, MoorMaster™ improves safety, reduces environmental impact, and increases operational efficiency.

To date, more than 80 MoorMaster™ systems have performed some 500k moorings at ferry, bulk, and container ports, as well as lock and ship-to-ship applications worldwide.
