Stena Line’s new state-of-the-art, purpose-built port in Loch Ryan, Scotland, has been fitted with a TTS ship-to-shore interface including linkspans, stop fenders, auto-moorings and an elevated walkway. “We used a fully automated mooring system which is installed along the pier, comprising two auto-mooring devices, each consisting of a vertical moving unit and two hydraulic cylinders to create the mooring force,” said Mikael Jimmerfors, contracts manager for TTS Port Equipment. The adjustable upper- and

designed for use by a variety of ropax vessels using a stern approach, with the option of bow approach also facilitated by the flexible solution. Both linkspans will be operated by means of hydraulic cylinders housed in fixed towers, one on each side. “It’s a very flexible system which dramatically decreases turnaround times,” Mr Jimmerfors added. “This was a key ingredient for Stena Line and something we have ensured throughout the process.” The operation also took into consideration work needed in Belfast, including vessel ramps and layout design, as well as

shore adjustments to ensure that all ship-to-shore activity could be properly accommodated. A new flexible walkway was installed, similar to the one at Loch Ryan, and TTS equipped the berth with a stop fender for bow approach and a semi- automated stern mooring to adapt the vessels’ mooring at the short quay.
The new port at Loch Ryan, which will handle the largest ships ever to sail between Scotland and Northern Ireland, is part of a £200 million rolling investment programme by Stena Line, including the development of the new port in Belfast which opened in 2008.
power transformers, frequency converters and control and protection equipment will be supplied. The project will be executed in co-operation with Processkontroll Elektriska and is scheduled to be completed in early 2012. PST
