2. Applications

Main use: Mooring, towing, and anchoring operations on vessels and marine facilities.

Suitable for: Cargo vessels, container ships, barges, tugboats, port and terminal mooring systems.

Key Benefits:

• Combines the strength of Polyester with the light weight of Polypropylene.
• High tensile strength with controlled elongation.
• UV and weather resistance for long-term performance.
• Excellent resistance to seawater, abrasion, and mild chemicals.

3. Instructions for Use

Installation: Secure on bollards, mooring winches, or fixed mooring points. Avoid sharp edges or unprotected metal surfaces.

Operation: Use only for mooring, towing, or anchoring. Do not exceed Safe Working Load (SWL).

Inspection & Maintenance:

• Inspect before each operation for broken strands, wear, or abrasion.
• Replace or repair if strength is compromised.
• Store in dry, shaded areas, away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals.
• Safety: Never stand in the snap-back zone while the rope is under load. Always use proper PPE.

5. Features & Advantages

Construction: 12-strand mixed rope made of Polypropylene + Polyester for balanced strength, durability, and weight.

Key Features:

• High strength-to-weight ratio.
• Reduced elongation under heavy load.
• Excellent UV and abrasion resistance.
• Long service life in harsh marine conditions.

Compared to single-fiber ropes:

• More durable and stable than 100% Polypropylene ropes.
• Heavier and slightly sinking in water, providing more controlled mooring than floating ropes.
• 12-strand design distributes load evenly and reduces stress concentration.
