1. Features

• Outstanding High Load-Bearing Capacity: The 12-strand construction optimizes the rope’s structural integrity, enabling it to bear extremely heavy loads—critical for securing ships of various sizes (from medium to large vessels). Each strand works in synergy to distribute the ship’s weight and external forces (such as wind and waves) evenly across the rope, minimizing stress concentration on individual strands and reducing the risk of sudden breakage during long-term mooring.
• Excellent Shock Absorption Performance: This rope exhibits superior elasticity, a key trait for ship mooring. When ships are buffeted by waves or sudden wind gusts, the 12-strand structure allows the rope to stretch moderately and recoil gently. This buffers the impact forces transferred between the ship and the dock/piling, preventing damage to the ship’s mooring bollards, dock structures, and the rope itself.
• Strong Resistance to Marine Environmental Corrosion: Designed for marine use, the rope is highly resistant to corrosion from saltwater, salt spray, and high humidity. The 12-strand configuration minimizes water absorption and trapped moisture, which avoids issues like mildew growth, fiber rot, or metal component rusting (if any). Even after prolonged exposure to harsh marine conditions, it retains its strength and structural stability.
• Superior Abrasion Resistance: The dense 12-strand weave creates a tough outer surface that withstands repeated friction. During mooring, the rope often comes into contact with rough surfaces such as dock edges, ship hulls, or piling exteriors; its abrasion resistance prevents fraying, strand separation, or surface wear, ensuring a long service life even in high-wear mooring scenarios.
• Good Flexibility and Easy Handling: Despite its high strength, the 12-strand design maintains excellent flexibility. This makes the rope easy to coil, uncoil, and tie into secure mooring knots (such as bowlines or cleat hitches) without requiring excessive force. It also adapts well to the movement of the ship, reducing tension buildup and making daily mooring operations more efficient.

2. Applications

• Permanent and Long-Term Ship Mooring at Ports: Ideal for securing ships to port docks or piers during long berthing periods (e.g., cargo loading/unloading, maintenance, or crew rest). Its high load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance ensure the ship remains stable even in prolonged exposure to saltwater and changing weather conditions.
• Temporary Mooring at Anchorage Areas: Used for temporary mooring when ships wait for berthing slots at busy ports or anchor in open anchorage areas. The rope’s shock absorption helps the ship maintain position without excessive movement, protecting it from collisions with other vessels or underwater obstacles.
• Mooring of Cargo Ships and Tankers: Suitable for mooring large cargo ships (carrying containers, bulk goods) and tankers (transporting oil or chemicals). Its ability to handle heavy loads and resist chemical splashes (in the case of tankers) ensures safe and reliable mooring during cargo transfer operations.
• Assisting in Ship Docking and Undocking Maneuvers: Plays a key role in guiding ships during docking and undocking. Its flexibility allows crew members to adjust the rope’s tension quickly, helping the ship align accurately with the dock and reducing the risk of hull damage from misalignment.
• Mooring of Offshore Support Vessels: Used for mooring offshore support vessels (e.g., supply ships, tugboats) that assist large offshore structures (like oil rigs) or other ships. The rope’s resistance to harsh offshore conditions (strong winds, high waves) ensures it can secure the support vessels reliably during equipment supply or towing operations.
