Posidonia S.r.l.

Posidonia’s quick release hooks are designed and manufactured entirely in Italy, utilizing high-quality materials such as stainless steel and special steel.

These hooks are essential for mooring and towing operations, ensuring safety and reliability even under the most extreme conditions.

A significant example of Posidonia’s ability to customize its products is the quick release hook with a pneumatic piston, developed for a research vessel operating at -50 degrees Celsius. This specific product was optimized for winterization, demonstrating the versatility and adaptability of Posidonia’s hooks to meet the most particular requirements.
Posidonia announces the imminent approval of its new 150-ton quick release hook by RINA (Registro Italiano Navale).

This hook will be installed on an oceanographic vessel and is suitable for all types of ships, both navy and civil.

With an operator effort of less than 15 kg, the hook opens, ensuring efficiency and safety in critical operations.

Posidonia’s quick release hooks are certified according to IACS (International Association of Classification Societies) standards, ensuring that each product meets the international safety and quality requirements. IACS certifications are a hallmark of excellence, making Posidonia’s products a reliable choice for naval operators and industry technicians.

We provide single, double, triple, or quadruple hooks, up to 200T SWL, with customized bases and configurations upon request.

The Quick Release Hook is a hook with a quick release mechanism that allows a vessel or ship to be quickly and safely released during towing operations. The release lever can be safely and remotely activated, either manually with a simple rope or with pneumatic or hydraulic systems, even from the bridge. It is also possible to equip them with dynamometers to monitor the working load in real-time. The working load of the towing hooks is usually related to the "static bollard pull" of the tug.
