Mooring Master P-7: High tenacity polyester fiber is used for the seven braided strength cores as well as the braided chafe protection cover. Its extremely high strength allows down-sizing from standard polyester constructions therby minimizing weight; it also provides an excellent deep water mooring profile or higher shock mitigation than high molecular weight polythylene ropes.

A NEW WAY TO

MEET THE RIGORS OF: • Deep Water

Mooring • Single Point

Mooring • FPSO Mooring • Pier Side

Mooring

The Mooring Master ropes include constructions of

Dyneema®, polyester, and nylon fiber. All constructions are designed to create maximum strength, service life, handling flexibility and ease of deployment with excellent operational firmness for winch drums.

The rope construction consists of seven braided core strength members contained within a thick, durable, braided chafe protection cover. The braids contained in a braid create cross-sectional firmness but allow good bending flexibility. The Mooring Master construction lets the strength cores do their work without being exposed to external wear surfaces.

All Mooring Master ropes are hand spliceable and all stated strengths are for spliced ropes.

Please contact us for further information and assistance in product selection for your current or future mooring requirements.

Mooring Master N-7; Seven braided nylon cores contained within a braided nylon chafe protection cover. Designed for use in offshore applications requiring an energy absorbing capability, such as single point mooring.
