Cavotec will design, supply, commission, and service its multi-unit MoorMaster automated mooring system at the Viking Line berth.

The system, to be delivered in 2020, will moor the 218 m-long cruise ferry Viking Grace. Once commissioned in 2021, Viking Line's newbuild Viking Glory will also use the MoorMaster as well.

In 2016, Cavotec installed a similar system in the Port of Helsinki, which has already performed some 5,000 moorings.
