Mooring Load Monitoring

When a ship is moored, the forces in the mooring lines can be measured by the Mooring Load Monitoring (MLM) system. Overloads on the jetty or mooring lines are identified by this load system in an early stage, so prompt action can be taken. The loads are displayed in real time in tons and alarms can be set if the loads exceed the safe working load of the mooring line. Retrieval of MLM data from comparable situations can be used as guidance to estimate the required number of mooring lines.

The Mooring Load Monitoring System is compatible with the components of Mampaey’s iMoor. The iMoor application software can display for instance the loads together with the local conditions measured by the additional Mampaey Environmental Monitoring System. This information can also be accessed by portable devices, like PDA’s and pagers. With iMoor’s I/O module, the remote control signal uses the MLM cable, if present.
