Features

  • Uses Dyneema HMPE fiber
  • A size for strength replacement for wire rope at only 1/7th the weight
  • Torque-free, very flexible, easy to handle
  • Similar elastic elongation to wire rope
  • Easily inspected or field spliced
  • Floats

Applications

  • Primary vessel mooring lines
  • Tractor tug working lines off winch drum
  • Face and wing wires for push tugs
  • Emergency and seismic tow lines

Recommended for split drum winch applications, not recommended for use on H-bitts, capstans or cleats if surging or rendering the rope is required.
