STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Regulatory News:

"MoorMaster[R] has a proven track record in creating substantial time and cost savings for operators, and is also far safer than traditional mooring techniques. Put simply, our technology provides greater reliability and boosts profitability while offering significant efficiency gains thanks to reduced mooring times and accelerated cargo handling operations," says Ottonel Popesco, Cavotec MSL CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. .

MoorMaster[R] is a vacuum-based automated mooring technology that moors vessels in seconds, eliminating the need for conventional mooring lines. The system counteracts vessel surge in port caused by changes in wave dynamics.

The agreement will see the 12 MoorMaster[R] MM200C units installed at Salalah's Berth 5. Delivery is set for late October. This sale represents a first for Cavotec's new generation of machines called the MoorMaster[R] 200C (MM200C). The MM200C solution has been specifically designed for a near universal application within container and bulk ports, combining a greater outreach and a reduced footprint on the berth.

As part of the project, Salalah's existing MoorMaster[R] MM600 units are to be moved to and installed at Berth 6. When completed, Salalah will have 2 berths (5 & 6) equipped with MoorMaster[R]. The new MoorMaster[R] system can be used to handle any ship class, including the new PS-class of 11,000TEU TEU Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (intermodal shipping container)
TEU Technical Escort Unit
