Remote-operated twist locks

Designed for safe and efficient sea fastening

Our Remote-Operated Twist Locks are designed for safe and reliable operation in demanding environments.

The system applies a pull-down force of up to 25 tonnes per corner and enables modules to be secured and released remotely from the bridge or a local control panel.

This reduces crew exposure, supports faster mission reconfiguration and helps ensure reliable operation at sea.
