FIBER MOORING ROPES

We have a well-established factory in Korea manufacturing 8 and 12 strands mooring ropes with PP and combine fiber in 11 mtrs, 22 mtrs and 220 mtrs lenght for ship´s security. With a range diameter from 40mm to 80mm, we have Lloyd`s Register, ABS and MEG4 approvals, complying with the LDBF and TDBF of each vessel.

After performing the ropes, a detailed inspection for every product is mandatory to assure the best quality and durability on board.

A mooring is any permanent structure to which a vessel may be secured.   A ship is secured to a mooring to forestall free movement of the ship on the water.     Mooring is often accomplished using thick ropes called mooring lines or hawsers. The lines are fixed to deck fittings on the vessel at one end and to fittings such as bollards, rings, and cleats on the other end.

Mooring requires cooperation between people on a pier and on a vessel. Heavy mooring lines are often passed from larger vessels to people on a mooring by smaller, weighted heaving lines. Once a mooring line is attached to a bollard, it is pulled tight. Large ships generally tighten their mooring lines using heavy machinery called mooring winches or capstans.

GALVANIZED WIRE ROPES  

We recently set the first and only workshop in Panama that can perform all kind of ending jobs for Galvanized Wire Ropes for crane and mooring lines.    In the lifting and rigging industries, wire rope is attached to a crane or hoist and fitted with swivels, shackles or hooks to attach to a load and move it in a controlled matter. It can also be used to lift and lower elevators, or as a means of support for suspension bridges or towers.

Components of a wire rope:

Wire: These are the smallest component of wire rope and they make up the individual strands in the rope. Wires can be made from a variety of metal materials including steel, iron, stainless steel, monel, and bronze. The wires can be manufactured in a variety of grades that relate to the strength, resistance to wear, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and curve of the wire rope.

Strands: consists of two or more wires arranged and twisted in a specific arrangement. The individual strands are then laid in a helical pattern around the core of the rope.   Strands made of larger diameter wires are more resistant to abrasion, while strands made of smaller diameter wires are more flexible.

Core: It runs through the center of the rope, it is consider the “heart of the wire” and supports the strands and helps to maintain their relative position under loading and bending stresses. Cores can be made from a number of different materials including natural or synthetic fibers and steel

Lubrication: is applied during the manufacturing process and penetrates all the way to the core. Wire rope lubrication reduces friction as the individual wires and strands move over each othe and provides corrosion protection and lubrication in the core, inside wires, and outside surface

We can supply all kind of nautical charts, publications and flags according to customer’s demand. A nautical chart is a graphic representation of a sea area and adjacent coastal regions.  Nautical charting may take the form of charts printed on paper or computerized electronic navigational charts. Recent technologies have made available paper charts which are printed «on demand» with cartographic data that has been downloaded to the commercial printing company as recently as the night before printing. With each daily download, critical data such as Local Notices to Mariners are added to the on-demand chart files so that these charts are up to date at the time of printing.

In our stock you can find more than 100 flags from different countries for immediate supply.
