The Port of Trelleborg (Trelleborgs Hamn) in Sweden has awarded a contract for a new ro-ro berth.
Why is this an opportunity for P&M: new ro-ro berth at the Port of Trelleborg — MoorMaster automated-mooring fit for high-frequency RoPax/RoRo calls.

Trelleborg's AutoMoor system at SPG Qingdao is the first automated vacuum mooring installation in China. Trelleborg cites plans to expand similar deployments at Qingdao and other Chinese ports; reference framing emphasises 30,000+ historical vacuum-mooring cycles globally and a new SmartDAS digital layer.
Why it matters for P&M: Trelleborg taking the first China reference is direct competitive intelligence. The implied roadmap (multi-site Chinese deployment) is the single biggest mid-term threat to MoorMaster's category leadership in the Asia Pacific. Re-prioritise the China account engagement — particularly at Chinese state operators (China Merchants, COSCO Ports) — and brief Services on response.
