Permanent Mooring Ropes
For safe, reliable and durable mooring operations
Why choose Dyneema® DM20?
With FPSO vessels becoming an increasingly cost-effective way to produce, store and offload oil from deepwater locations, operators need to trust that their permanent mooring ropes are strong and durable enough to provide safe station keeping at sea.
Vessels operating in deepwater locations over long periods need mooring ropes that are strong and durable enough to provide stability in difficult environments. Today, more and more offshore operators are switching from polyester ropes to ropes made with Dyneema® DM20 to secure their FPSO vessels. Ropes with Dyneema® have a 30% smaller diameter than polyester ropes, offering more freedom in riser design, planning and installation.

MODEC
“The idea was to use two winches, fore and aft, to pull and tension 12 mooring lines each. This design would replace the usual chain jack at each mooring cluster. By doing this, the company could cut by a factor of four the time needed to pull in the chains.”
