TRELLEBORG
HARBOUR
MARINE
Trelleborg Harbour Marine (THM) has been
a leading global manufacturer of advanced
docking, mooring and monitoring systems for
the oil and gas industries since 1971.
The rapid growth in oil and gas terminals
and their safety-first philosophy has led to
sophisticated systems integration.
THM leads the way with a wide range
of modular hardware, control and
instrumentation solutions that all help to
ensure safe berthing and mooring in critical
and demanding environments.
All systems are extensively tested and
proven in practice the main reason why
Trelleborg Harbour Marine is the preferred
supplier on most of the worlds latest LNG
terminal projects.

Safety First

The Safety Cycle

Every component of every THM module is

designed with safety in mind:
B Equipment is fully certified for hazardous
locations
B Failsafe designs prevent accidents and
unexpected events
B Operators are kept clear of dangerous zones
B Early warning and predictive systems reduce
risk levels.

Productivity
Solutions are tailored for every project:
B Better control over vessel approach reduces
turnaround times
B Automation and shared information means
more efficient operations
B Data logging helps optimise and fine-tune
procedures
B Systems easily upgraded or expanded to
meet future needs

INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS
Integration is the key to maximum
mum safety and
optimum productivity. Trelleborg
org Harbour
Marine solutions can combine
e the outputs
from docking and mooring systems
stems
with environmental and forecasting
asting
data, fender monitoring and drift
warning devices. Local and centrally
entrally
processed information is then
n
redistributed to virtual consoles,
les,
local and remote alarms and
to portable receivers on the
terminal or ship.
Retrofits and upgrades are
e
also available, so even older
facilities can benefit from
the latest technology, or
systems can be added
to as needs change. All
modules are available for THM
M and
alternative manufacturer hooks
ks and hardware.

QUICK
RELEASE
HOOKS
Quick Release Hooks (QRH) enable
mooring lines to be quickly and
easily released, even under full load
conditions.
A variety of mounting options
exist for the quick release hook.
Typically a cast QRH base is used for
new installations. To upgrade older
facilities, fabricated hook bases
can be designed to suit existing
hold-down bolt patterns to replace
bollards or old QRHs. THM hooks can
also be retrofitted to existing bases
from other suppliers, considerably
reducing on-site civil works.

Hook features
B Single and multiple hook arrays in
sizes to suit all applications
B Base designs available to suit new,
retrofit and upgrade projects
B Integrated capstans with motors
protected within the mounting base
B Hazardous area certified (where
applicable)
B Hooks can work at large horizontal
and vertical angles
B Fail safe release mechanisms are
enclosed within the hook body
B Hooks permit controlled release at
all working loads
B 20kg release lever load complies
with health and safety guidelines
B Counterbalanced hook for easy
reset
B Cast hook profile minimises chafing
of mooring lines
B Low maintenance, durable design is
well proven, reliable and refined

Every hook is factory tested and certied to at least 125% of rated load.

QUICK RELEASE HOOKS

Capstans

Manual Release

Capstan motors are fully enclosed within

the hook base for ultra-low maintenance,
corrosion protection and reliability.
Various load ratings and running
speeds are available to suit
all ship sizes and mooring line
materials.

All hook release components are enclosed within the

hook side plates, protecting the mechanism from debris
and damage. A 20kg force is required to release the
hook at full load whilst a single operator stands safely
behind the hook.

Rope Guards
Rope guards preventing slack
mooring lines from accidentally
detaching at high vertical
angles.

Hazardous Area
Operations
All electrical
components
are certified
for hazardous
area operations
(where required).
The hook design
prevents contact
with the structure
during mooring and
on release, eliminating
spark risk.

Positive Hook
Locking
The fail safe hook
mechanism ensures
a positive reset
confirmed by easy visual
check (with optional remote
verification). This prevents hairtrigger and accidental release
which can occur with inferior
designs.

Mounting Bases
Single or multiple hook
configurations are available. Bases
can be cast or fabricated to suit
new or retrofit installations. Upgrade
options include bases to fit existing
anchor arrays.

Counterbalanced Hooks

Large Mooring Angles

Hooks can rotate under full load through
horizontal angles up to 90 and vertical
angles up to 45. Hinge pins will never freeze
and need minimal maintenance.

The cast mooring hook is

counterbalanced for easy
reset by operators. The smooth
hook profile properly supports
mooring ropes, reducing stress
concentrations and chafing.

The hook series designates the safe working load of each hook. (eg. 75 Series hooks have an SWL of 75 tonnes)
All hooks are proof loaded to their corresponding proof load.
Mounting bases are designed to accept the combined loads from multiple hooks.
Dimensions are typical and nominal. Always request a certified hook or base drawing before starting any construction.
Capstan heights (G) may vary slightly depending on capacity selection.
Drawings may change due to our continuous improvement processes. Current drawings will be provided on request.
Custom bases are available on request to suit existing bolt patterns or unique applications.

DOCKING AID SYSTEMS

SmartDock is a family of docking
aid systems (DAS) used by jetty
operators and pilots to monitor the
approach of berthing ships. Systems
are based on lasers, differential GPS
or Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS
technologies.

SmartDock Laser
SmartDock Laser uses a pair
of laser sensors to measure the
distance and angle of a docking ship
in the critical range of 200m to 0m
from the berthing line.
Lasers will function in poor
visibility including heavy rain and are
eye-safe to the highest FDA Class 1
standard.
The data provided to jetty
operators, pilots and ship masters is
used to prevent over-speed and large
angle approaches, allowing early
corrections to the manoeuvre long
before a potential accident situation
arises.
SmartDock Laser can be
switched to drift-off when the ship is
moored. At a preset distance from
the berthing line, alarms are raised
on the jetty and ship. On oil and gas
jetties this provides added protection
for the loading arms.

DOCKING AID SYSTEMS

Lasers provide centimetre accuracy in

all weathers at ranges up to 200m.

The berthing approach is monitored

remotely with early warning alarms.

Data for every berthing is logged for

later analysis and training.

SmartDock GPS
SmartDock GPS offers high
precision navigation and berthing.
Positional accuracy is better than
60cm using differentially corrected
GPS (DGPS). With Real Time
Kinematic (RTK) GPS technology, up
to 3cm precision is achievable.
Vessels are displayed on digital
charts that also show superimposed
jetty structures.
Rate of turn and heading accuracy
is better than the ships own onboard
equipment. The position of other
vessels can be integrated with
the display using an Automated
Information System (AIS) feed.

Wave height (m)

Wind, wave and current forces can

significantly affect vessel handling,
particularly during low speed
manoeuvres. Most larger oil and LNG
facilities now require meteorological
and oceanographic (MetOcean)
sensors to provide this data whilst
ships are docking and moored.
Data is collected from a variety
of MetOcean sensors via cable or
telemetry and can be relayed to
portable monitors carried by pilots
and other remote users.

Weather station
Typically located on the roof of the
Jetty Control Building, the weather
station can log wind speed/direction,
barometric pressure, humidity,
temperature and rainfall. Visibility
sensors are optional.

Current monitoring
Current speed and direction are
measured at fixed depths or over the
full water column at one or multiple
sites along the jetty. It is also
common to add remote sensors in
turning basins, approach channels
and at offshore mooring locations.

Wave and tide data

Wave height, profile and tide data
are provided by a non-contact laser
mounted to the jetty. Wave direction
can also be measured using
immersed sensors or buoys.

Offshore current meter

Forecasting Services
Real-time forecasting services
improve productivity and safety by
predicting weather and wave heights
to give advance warning of significant
events which may hamper berthing,
mooring, cargo transfer or departure.
