The automated MoorMaster system allowed DP World in San Antonio to maintain operational continuity, despite adverse weather conditions, becoming the only terminal that could operate when ports were closed by the authorities.
The facility is safely working with the Eurosal service, attending to a 333-meter long vessel that is transferring 4,700 movements.
"DP World in San Antonio is the only port terminal in Chile to have the modern MoorMaster system, which allows for greater safety for workers and maintains operational continuity," stated the concessionaire.
MoorMaster NxG is a fully automated ship mooring system that was inaugurated at DP World in San Antonio during the first half of 2024. The implementation of this innovation involved an investment of $7 billion, while its commissioning required testing with the support of American and New Zealand experts.
The tool, developed by Cavotec, consists of hydraulic arms that secure the vessel using vacuum technology to maintain maximum stability, ensuring a fast and secure connection to the ship. It also reduces the risk of mooring line breakage, providing greater protection for port workers and crews.
