The experiments carried out from September 2021 to January 2023 have demonstrated the effectiveness of the solution:
- improved berthing behaviour in all weather conditions: surge is reduced to less than one meter on all ? type of vessels;
- improvement of the « water level alert » procedure: it aims to ensure the safety of dockside personnel;
- reduction of the risk of mooring failure.
Since March, this service has been commercialized ? throughout the Le Havre port area by the Lamanage teams.
HAROPA PORT is the first French port to be equipped with this innovative mooring system.
