Ropes for mooring and towing

Faster, safer dockside operations build profits too.

The tightening economy demands new savings to be found at every step in the manufacturing/distribution cycle.  For commercial marine enterprises, this means finding new ways to reduce their cost of operations and boost productivity while keeping crews lean—and safe from injury.

To complicate the challenge, this “doing more with less” coincides with a trend toward larger vessels and busier, more crowded harbors.

Ropes made with Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™ are helping pressured operators survive.  Their easier handling, ability to float, and lighter weight make it easier for crews.  And the high-strength, resistance to wear, and abrasion resistance keep the economics healthy over the longer life of the ropes.

We are “with you when it matters” in a tough business:

Onboard your vessel…

         >  Ship owners benefit from lines that offer double the service life of steel or synthetic ropes

At the pier…

            > Terminal crews avoid hand injuries from unraveling steel fibers (“fish hooks”) and muscle strain, thanks to softer ropes that have only 15% of the weight of steel wire ropes

For tugboat operations…

            > Low-stretch tow lines protect tugboat crews from potentially fatal “backlash” injuries
