Quay-side mooring automation

The first implementation of an automated mooring system in South America, setting a new standard for port technology in the region.

This state-of-the-art technology not only streamlines and improves our operations by reducing manual mooring times and improving vessel loading and discharge through automated vacuum pads that secure and release vessels within seconds.
It also fundamentally enhances the safety of every team member working at our ports by drastically reducing the risks associated with traditional mooring.

We are proud to be the first port in the Americas and the first in DP World to adopt this cutting-edge vessel mooring technology. MoorMaster, developed by our partner Cavotec, will enhance employee safety and bring significant improvements to our day-to-day operations.

It is a solution that contributes positively to our environment, aligning with our collaborative mission to reduce C02 emissions across the logistics industry. We are leading the way in the region to a more sustainable future for the supply chain, changing what’s possible for everyone.
