Improving Mooring Safety & Efficiency at a Scandinavian Cruise Terminal

Project: Cruise Terminal Mooring Upgrade – Scandinavia

Equipment Supplied: Free Standing Capstan (FSC)

Challenge: As cruise vessels increased in size, heavier mooring lines made manual handling increasingly labor-intensive and time-consuming, while exposing dockworkers to safety risks near the quay edge.

GLEN's Solution: GLEN Engineering supplied Free Standing Capstans to provide mechanical assistance for handling heavy mooring lines, reducing manual effort and improving operational control.

Customer Value: Enhanced personnel safety, improved mooring efficiency, and reduced physical workload, supporting safer and more efficient operations for larger cruise vessels.
