SMART : the game changing auto mooring solution for efficient docking !
To boost turn around, optimize power consumption, and improve safety, automated mooring is a must for short sea crossing RoPax vessels !
With “SMART ”, acronym for Self Mooring And Release Technology, NG3 offers an innovative and very robust automated mooring solution especially compared to vacuum based solutions.
Combined with PLUG, SMART can offer a combined, fully automated, charging and mooring of electric propulsion RoPax.
Its simplicity allows easy implementation on both new or retrofit cases.
