Quick Release Hooks (QRH) by Glen Engineering
Quick Release Hooks (QRH) are a vital necessity for safe and efficient jetty mooring operations, particularly at terminals handling and transporting Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), chemicals, oil and coal.
Quick Release Hooks (QRH) are a necessity for today’s mooring systems. Glen’s QRHs enable mooring lines to be secured quickly and safely. OUR QRH’s are easily released even when loaded to their safe max working limit.
Failing mooring lines, failing hooks or structural failure are all too common hazards which can create considerable damage to ships and berths, and disrupt operations – so too great and too expensive a risk to be ignored.

How We Assure Safety and Quality For All Quick Release Hooks
Mooring lines must be able to be safely secured, and quickly and easily released, even when working to a large load limit. By combining Safe Working Load (SWL), material and configuration data with Glen’s highly flexible IntMoor QRH products, Glen’s Quick Release Hook systems provide a trusted, high quality mooring solution for port owner, port operators and consulting engineers.
The Complete QRH Solution For Modern Mooring Systems
From port owners and operators to consulting engineers, Glen works with closely with customers to determine best fit solutions for their marine applications. We provided full integrated QRH solutions that combines project consultation, system design, QRH manufacturing and testing, commissioning, installation and support.Design concepts are processed by Glen’s experienced in-house engineering team engineering team, which generates a complete suite of project documentation including 3D CAD designs, application-specific drawings, and full documentation of the analysis and calculations required for each of our marine technology solutions.

Quick Release Hook Quality by Glen Engineering
LEARN MORE
Glen Quick Release Hooks are constructed of superior materials to competitor products. This delivers exceptional strength and durability that ensures a long lifetime of premium performance. But premium performance doesn’t mean premium cost, and all our products are highly competitive compared with European suppliers.
Supported by highest level of responsive service, with no compromise on detail, we guarantee our customised Quick Release Hook solutions enable faster, safer mooring operations, providing greater operational efficiency and increased productivity. Combined, this ensures our customers receive exceptional return on investment when purchasing a Glen QRH system.
The correct SWL selection should follow the dynamic mooring analysis done by the consulting company to obtain the value.
Please also note that according to the OCIMF Meg3 guidelines, it is recommended that the SWL of each hook is larger than the MBL of the mooring.
For example, for LNG carriers using 140T MBL ropes, SWL150T quick release hooks are usually designated
A. The capacity of a capstan is usually specified by its line pull. This is sized according to the weight of mooring line
expected to be hauled in from the vessel to the mooring point. This will be greater for mooring dolphins than berthing dolphins; however, capstans are specified by maximum line pull to provide standardised equipment across the berth.
A. Each hook can accommodate two mooring lines up o a diameter noted in the datasheet. However, most
modern berths utilise load monitoring, and for this to be effective as a management data tool, each hook should
be dedicated to a single mooring line.
A.single or inherited detection system, such as: stress monitoring, environmental monitoring, laser berthing, including remote fault diagnosis and monitoring, can prevent faults, easy maintenance, and speed up turnover. It is the standard configuration of most modern terminals .
