What's wrong with St. Lawrence Seaway employee's tying up ships and maintaining watch over the ship as it rises or descends within the lock? What happens when the MoorMaster doesn't let go of the ship and damages the ship or the lock wall or both? How's the MoorMaster camera's work in rain, snow, ice or all three. Have seagulls been introduced to the camera? Does the acid in the seagull poop dissolve the camera cables? Geezz...people have been tying up ships for thousands of years, trying automate it and overlook the safety factors of people on the ship and along the lock wall sounds pretty risky to me.
Safety is the main reason why this system has been introduced. Mooring with ropes is messy and hazardous, and people get killed and maimed daily in the process. St Lawrenece Seaways actually had great difficulties finding people willing to perform this menial, low skill job with all the care and reliability they expected. Some jobs are done better by machines. You can rest assured that your perceived weaknesses have been addressed thoroughly and the system is working continuously, much more reliably than humans.
The move to get rid of labor is faulty. Human intervention in crises matters, human intelligence keeps things running smoothly. Jobs lost is an economy weakened.
I do not understand how it attacks in the ship this "new machine". ????
It is vaccuum interface with hydraulic articulation. More information is on the Moormaster website under cavotec.com

I agree
Because that's how life progresses

@@Forseenlife It's a choice. It isn't necessarily progress.
