Materials used
In the manufacture of our mooring system hawsers, we carefully select premium quality yarns of multifilament nylon, HT polyester and blended fibres. For Submerged Turret Loading and recovery systems, we also use Dyneema® fibres. Hawsers can be supplied with Integral Flotation system and/ or PU encapsulation for increased durability and operational cost savings.
Construction
We manufacture in Double Braid, Circular Braided (Gama 98®) and conventional eight strand constructions. Double Braid is constructed with a separate outer braided sheath and inner braided core. The balanced flexible construction, distributes the weight and strength equally between the sheath and braided core. Gama 98® is constructed from high efficiency sub-rope cores laid parallel within an outer braided jacket. Each sub-rope is computer monitored during production to ensure all sub-ropes have equal tension and length. The outer jacket is essentially non load bearing.
Quality & Design
Continuous research and practical field experience, combined with the latest CAD technology have kept us at the forefront of the technological advancement in the design and manufacture of cost effective, safe offshore mooring systems. All Single Point and Tandem mooring systems are project designed and custom built under rigorous quality assurance conditions which conform to appropriate classification requirements and / or OCIMF 2000 Guidelines. |
