Cavtoec推出了MoorMaster NxG，这是下一代自动系泊解决方案，可通过减少停靠时间来减少油耗并提高港口生产率。

Cavtoec has launched MoorMaster NxG, a next-generation automated mooring solution which cuts fuel consumption and increases port productivity by reducing docking times.

 

Cavtoec在一份声明中表示，MoorMaster NxG将彻底改变船舶进出港口的方式，并允许停泊仅需30秒。使用绳索和链条将船舶锚定到港口的系统可能需要一个小时。较短的周转时间意味着需要更多的时间来降低速度，以降低油耗，从而使港口的运营更清洁，更安全。

In a statement, Cavotec said MoorMaster NxG will revolutionise the way ships enter and leave ports and allow mooring to take as little as 30 seconds. The system of anchoring ships to port using ropes and chains can take up to an hour.Shorter turn-around times mean more time cruising a lower speeds for lower fuel consumption, which in turn creates cleaner and safer port operations.

 

Cavotec首席执行官Mikael Norin表示：“作为真空系泊系统的发明者，我们已经使用了20年服务中的每一分钟数据，从头开始重新设计MoorMaster，以提供更快，更智能的安装，改进的性能，持续的监控和易于维护。所有组件都具有更小，更精简的占地面积和美观的设计。

Mikael Norin, Cavotec CEO, said: “As the inventors of vacuum mooring, we’ve used every minute of data from 20 years’ service to redesign MoorMaster from the ground up, to deliver faster, smarter installation, improved performance, continuous monitoring and easier maintenance. All in a unit with a smaller more streamlined footprint and an aesthetically pleasing design.

 

“这些品质是ASKO Maritime在计划引进世界上第一艘自动，零排放船舶时至关重要的。我们为被选为ASKO的主要合作伙伴感到非常自豪。”

“These are qualities that ASKO Maritime have seen as crucial when they are planning the introduction of the world’s first autonomous, zero emissions vessels. We are very proud of having been selected as a key partner to ASKO,” Norin said.

挪威最大的运输部门ASKO Maritime将受益于MoorMaster NxG在奥斯陆峡湾的运营，全电动船将在各个港口之间自动航行，从而取代200万公里的卡车运输，每年可节省5,000吨二氧化碳。

ASKO Maritime, the shipping arm of Norway’s largest grocery chain, will benefit from MoorMaster NxG in its Oslo Fjord operations where the fully electric ships will sail autonomously from port to port thereby replacing two million kilometres of truck transport, saving 5,000 tonnes of CO2 every year.

 

ASKO海事首席执行官Kai Just Olsen说道：“ MoorMaster系统将为我们节省大量能源，并且是自主运营的关键推动力。由于我们不需要在港口使用强大的船艏和侧面推进器，因此我们的电动船将消耗更少的能量，并且可以延长电池寿命。MoorMaster技术是对我们的新船的完美补充-使用现代技术打造未来船队。”

Kai Just Olsen, ASKO Maritime CEO, commented: “The MoorMaster system will save us huge amounts of energy and is a key enabler of autonomous operations. Since we won’t need to use the powerful bow and side thrusters in port, our electric vessels will use less energy and also extend the battery lifetime. The MoorMaster technology is perfect to complement to our new ships – using modern technology for a futuristic fleet.”

 

 

即使使用常规船舶，MoorMaster仍可在系泊期间将有害排放水平降低多达98％，从而为港口员工和附近社区提供更健康的环境。MoorMaster NxG拥有获得专利的Active Control™技术，并使用专有的软件算法消除了船舶运动，同时还大大提高了系统寿命。

Even with conventional vessels, MoorMaster can reduce the level of harmful emissions by as much as 98 per cent during mooring leading to a healthier environment for port employees and nearby communities. MoorMaster NxG comes with patented Active Control™ technology and uses a proprietary software algorithm to eliminate vessel motion while also drastically increasing system lifetime.

 

对于港口而言，这可以提高装卸效率，并可以实现未来的使用案例，例如全自动岸边集装箱起重机。通过连续记录操作数据，人工智能的出现将通过全球所有站点的每一次软件更新和每分钟的操作来进一步改善MoorMaster NxG。

For ports, this leads to increased loading/offloading productivity and enables future use cases such as fully automated ship-to-shore cranes. With continuous recording of operational data, the advent of artificial intelligence is set to further improve MoorMaster NxG with every software update and every minute of operations at all sites worldwide.

 

诺林继续说道：“在接下来的十年中，随着智能运输技术的引入，我们终于可以看到码头上缓慢而危险的绳索和链条使用的终结。现代航运业需要一种锚泊解决方案，该解决方案必须满足并超过其对生产力的高期望，并减少了世界各地码头的碳排放。”

Norin continued: “In the next ten years, with the introduction of smart shipping technology, we could finally see the end of the slow and dangerous use of ropes and chains at dockside. A modern shipping industry needs a mooring solution that meets and exceeds its high expectations of productivity and reduced environmental footprint at docks around the world.”
