The challenge

The demands on logistics in the maritime sec­tor are high. Freight traffic is growing strong­ly worldwide, and cargo handling in the ports must therefore become increasingly productive and efficient. This is the only way to handle the high volume reliably and quickly. At the same time, other requirements have to be met, such as better profitability or more environmen­tally friendly technologies. The mooring of ships is one of the starting points. Manual (and thus labor-intensive) mooring of ships to the quay wall is often still standard practice here. In case of ferries, propulsion is often used to keep the vessel in position.

For some years now, automated or semi-au­tomated mooring systems have played a very important role in efficient handling of ships and goods. These systems replace manual mooring and therefore save personnel and, thus, costs. To automate its mooring systems, ONEARC was looking for a provider that could offer a com­plete solution.

In the meantime, the company has become a market leader in special equip­ment for ship and goods handling in ports and on ships. Consultant services from the concept phase to commissioning and subsequent maintenance also still repre­sent an important part of the business.
