The ShoreTension is a system for safer mooring of sea-going ships that is as convenient as it is revolutionary. The ShoreTension, a cylindrical stand-alone device, can be flexibly used in any port at terminals where containers, general cargo and/or bulk are handled. With the ShoreTension, ships of any size can be firmly anchored to the quay. The ShoreTension significantly reduces movement caused by strong winds, currents, swell or passing ships. In the traditional mooring method using mooring lines on bollards, this movement is always present. In extreme conditions, the tremendous pressure this exerts on the ship can cause the mooring lines to snap with potentially serious consequences. As other ports have experienced in the past, this is definitely a realistic risk. The ShoreTension mitigates this risk significantly. Ships are moored to the quay much sturdier and therefore much safer. In addition, the flexibly deployable ShoreTension aims to allow terminals to operate more efficiently. Because ships are moored alongside the quay with greater stability, the ShoreTension promotes unhindered quay crane operations and significantly re- duces the risk of damage during unloading and loading. Furthermore, operations can continue for much longer in bad weather. Visiting ships can be handled more quickly.

About ShoreTension
ShoreTension is a dynamic mooring system that offers a green solution for safe mooring. With a focus on efficiency and sustainability, ShoreTension provides lower costs, energy savings, and reduction in vessel motion of up to 90%. One of the key challenges faced by marine terminals is the increasing severity of weather conditions due to climate change.
To combat this, ShoreTension offers a high pre-tension system that reduces the loads in mooring lines, resulting in significantly reduced vessel movement and downtime. As ship dimensions and weights continue to increase, mooring lines are exposed to high loads. ShoreTension addresses this challenge by enhancing mooring capabilities for large ships, providing high tension to cope with peak loads without exceeding the minimum breaking load of the line.
An additional benefit of ShoreTension is its ability to reduce pollution caused by external energy sources. Unlike conventional tension winches, ShoreTension only requires external energy during the initial berthing process, stored internally and released when peak loads are over. With its self-regulating mechanism, ShoreTension keeps mooring lines at a constant tension, ensuring safe and stable mooring.
The system is easy to install, positioned on the quay between two bollards, and can be flexibly placed anywhere on the quay. Wireless control adds convenience, allowing remote monitoring of mooring line tension in real-time. Through SMS alerts, all parties involved are automatically notified if the safe working load approaches pre-established limits, ensuring enhanced safety.
Certified by Lloyd's Register, ShoreTension offers a safe working load of up to 150 metric tons and vessel motion reduction of up to 90% compared to conventional mooring systems. Choose ShoreTension for a greener, safer, and more efficient mooring solution
