Hook Operations

In a standard outfit Mampaey Quick Release Buoy Hooks are
operated manually. Undesired opening of the hook( because of buoy movement) is prevented by a special locking device.
This device is operated manually from a remote line handling vessel.

Electric-Hydraulic Release
Optionally the Mooring Hook can be operated safe and simple by a single push-on-a-button. This release mechanism works through a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the Mooring Hook.
Pressure is provided by a power pack mounted in a watertight compartment. Energy is generated by a solar driven battery pack.

This also allows the hooks to be released from a distance, individually or simultaneously in case of an emergency with a PDA or from ashore with a control panel. An indication whether the hook is open or closed can be transmitted to a Remote Control Panel/PDA or Pager.
