Cavotec technologies

Cavotec develops and manufactures innovative automation and electrification technologies

Cavotec is a leading cleantech company that designs and delivers connection and electrification solutions to enable the decarbonization of ports and industrial applications. Backed by more than 40 years of experience, our systems ensure safe, efficient and sustainable operations for a wide variety of customers and applications worldwide.

Automated Mooring

Faster, safer and cleaner mooring

MoorMaster™ automated mooring eliminates the need for mooring lines with automated vacuum pads that moor and release vessels in seconds at the push of a button.

MoorMaster™ dramatically improves safety and operational efficiency, optimises the ship-to-shore interface, and in many cases enables ports to make infrastructure savings.

Works with virtually all vessels

  • Modular design and vacuum pads that attach to any flat surface
  • Can be used with a wide variety of vessels and applications, irrespective of vessel size and design
  • MoorMaster™ systems are used to moor ferries as well as 400m container ships and bulk carriers of more than 300m
Crane Automation

Crane Electrification

Crane electrification and automation are key aspects of modernisation in ports and terminals.

Cavotec’s extensive experience and comprehensive range of innovative technologies help customers to connect and electrify STS, RTG, ASC, RMG and mobile harbour cranes, thereby improving efficiency and reducing environmental impact.

Cavotec designs and manufactures advanced electrification solutions, including motorised cable reels, cable protection and power connection systems.

Our wide ranging experience and global service capabilities make Cavotec the ideal partner for successful turnkey crane electrification retrofits, from design to execution.

Cavotec as a key partner:

  • Turnkey solutions that maximise efficiency.
  • Innovative technologies with an application-centric focus.
  • Durable equipment for the harshest environments.
  • Global footprint with local customer service.
  • Effective system integration.
Shore Power

Shore Power

Build cleaner ports and ships with innovative onshore power supplies.

It’s time to take charge and transform the way we power cleaner, safer, and more efficient ports, vessels and ferries to build more prosperous coastal communities.

Shore power technologies, also known as cold ironing, Onshore Power Supply (OPS) or Alternative Maritime Power (AMP), are the only solutions that cut emissions totally at berth. Shore power solutions enable the connection of ships in port to onshore power supplies that provide electricity for on-board services allowing diesel generators to be switched off.

The reduction in vessel emissions is no longer a nice-to-have and is increasingly becoming a legal requirement for the industry, following the latest standards and regulations.

Ships now cause nearly 3% of all global greenhouse gas emissions – more than aircraft.*

Cavotec #ShorePower solutions are key to reducing these harmful pollutants and, in the next chapter of our story, we reveal a number of innovative new hardware and solution features to take charge of a brighter net zero future for all.
