Parallel-Strand Deep-Sea Mooring Rope
World-leading deep-sea mooring design using parallel-strand construction, available in HMPE or polyester core. OCIMF MEG4 compliant and engineered for permanent mooring of FPSOs, semi-submersibles and offshore platforms across the harshest deepwater fields on earth.
Representative specification for the HMPE core. Polyester core, jacket and termination are configured to project requirements.

Core options for the full range of deepwater mooring duties.
HMPE parallel-strand core — the lightest, highest strength-to-weight option, floating and low-stretch for taut-leg and FPSO moorings.
Polyester parallel-strand core for catenary and semi-taut moorings where controlled elongation and outstanding fatigue life are decisive.
