the ormeggiatori of the port of Genoa introduce the innovative Shore Tension Mooring System
the system is employed for the first time in Italy
May 5, 2016
The Group Ancient Ormeggiatori of the port of Genoa has introduced, for the first time in Italy, uses it of the innovative Shore Tension Mooring System (STMS), system born and developed to Rotterdam from the ormeggiatori of the Dutch society Koninklijke Roeiers Vereeniging Eendracht (KRVE) that it is being diffused in the most modern terminals in the world, in particular in that destined to the Large Hooligan Vessel Container that more speeds up the moorings to the aims of the sure parking in dock.
The STMS is a piston kind oleodinamico shock-absorber that to every operation is placed in dock in opportune position from the ormeggiatori, connected with the ship it is to bow is to stern through a put cable and in tension with which calibrated workloads on bollard the pool of the cleats of each ship. So moored, the ship can be benefited of the ulterior one held of the cables STMS that become and they are withdrawn based on the received sollicitations. In this way the ship remains moored stablily in all safety, avoiding that the mooring ropes risk to break because of peaks of tension for wind or too much strong waves of surf.
Still more important is the monitoring that the STMS allows to obtain. In fact, through the control unit wireless of which it is equipped, it is recorded and transmitted remotely stress which the ship and the relative mooring ropes are subordinates, allowing to supply timely and to adopt the measures of the case to the staff of the coordinated technical-nautical services from the Harbour office, to the aim to prevent the effects of eventual critical situations.
System STMS does not demand external feeding. The movement of the cylinder is of hydraulic type, while the control unit wireless is self-powered from a photovoltaic panel.
The Group Ancient Ormeggiatori, that it has supported the investment, can today count on two endowed moorings of this innovative technology, both dedicated to the harbour within of Prà. The system is introduced today to terminal PSA of Voltri-Prà with a demonstration in dock through the aid of the sollicitations of a harbour tug.
