MOORING ROPES www.survitecgroup.com MOORING ROPES 03 • IN HOUSE RIGGING FACILITIES MOORING ROPES • HIGHLy ExpERIENCEd ANd kNOwLEdGEAble staff Survitec Group is a leading supplier of mooring ropes to the commercial marine industry with an enviable • AppROvEd OCIMF standARdS reputation for quality, technical support and product innovation. We supply the ropes used by tankers and cargo vessels, cruise ships and ferries, tug and salvage operators, offshore oil and gas contractors, naval ships and port authorities. Our products conform to international classification regulations. Our wide range of mooring ropes includes both general polypropylene, polyester and nylon ropes as well as the next generation of high-strength ropes manufactured from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres. These technologically advanced ropes offer superior strength to traditional steel wire moorings. We also manufacture a fibre rope Emergency Towing System that utilises the exceptional strength of Dyneema® HMPE fibres. The system, which conforms to the latest IMO resolution MSC.35 (63), is fully type- approved by Lloyds Register of Shipping and Det Norske Veritas. Survitec Group has the resources that few of our competitors can match, we supply, inspect, test and maintain everything from marine safety products and lifting gear through to fire fighting, power tools and height safety systems. Through our European-wide branch network and global service and distribution centres we are able to deliver our rope products quickly and efficiently to the major shipping ports of the world. We can also provide a wide range of rigging services including splicing and mooring system assembly together with associated products. With our wealth of experience and knowledge, we are uniquely placed to provide excellent technical support, including guidance on the best product for a specific application. When it comes to the design, development and engineering of bespoke rope products, rest assured that our dedicated rope team has worked at the cutting edge of mooring technology for many years. Whatever the requirement, our commitment is to provide customers with a quality solution that meets individual needs. 04 MOORING ROPES MOORING ROPES 05 ® ® SURVITEC NUTECH SURVITEC NUTECH Size WEIGHT BREAKING BREAKING 100m COIL LOAD LOAD 3, 4 & 8 STRAND 12 & 24 STRAND KILOS TONNES kN CIRC DIA Inches mm Made from high tenacity mixed polyolefin yarns and Additional Benefits & Features 5 40 73.0 28.60 280.56 1/2 available in 3, 4, 8, 12 and 24 strand. 5 44 89.0 35.40 347.27 6 48 106.0 41.80 410.05 A competitive alternative to Nylon and Staple • Flakes down easily and neatly 61/2 52 125.0 47.30 464.01 Polypropylene. • Ideal for auto winches and drums 7 56 144.0 55.00 539.55 • Non-rotating, torque-free round construction 71/2 60 166.0 61.60 604.29 Benefits & Features 8 64 188.0 70.40 690.62 81/2 68 214.0 79.70 781.85 • Specific gravity of 0.91, i.e. permanent flotation in water 9 72 238.0 89.10 874.07 • Excellent abrasion resistance 91/2 76 267.0 98.40 965.30 • Excellent strength 10 80 295.0 108.30 1062.42 • Flexible, easy to handle and splice in use 101/2 84 326.0 117.70 1154.63 11 88 358.0 127.60 1251.75 • Fully UV stabilised with medium to low elongation 12 96 425.0 150.70 1478.36 in use 13 104 498.0 171.60 1683.33 • Protected spliced eyes at each end 14 112 576.0 200.20 1963.96 • Tremendous range of uses 15 120 659.0 221.10 2168.99 • Wet strength equal to dry strength 16 128 750.0 244.50 2398.54 • OCIMF (MEG3) compliant 17 136 858.0 277.20 2719.33 18 144 959.0 305.80 2999.89 Applications • Mooring • General Marine Applications • Messenger lines SURVITEC Size WEIGHT BREAKING BREAKING ® 220m COIL LOAD LOAD NUTECH - PLUS KILOS TONNES kN CIRC DIA Inches mm Constructed principally from high tenacity 41/2 36 116.4 20.8 204 Polypropylene with outer yarns alternating with 5 40 158.8 30.2 296 Polyester for increased abrasion resistance. 51/2 44 201.3 36.5 358 Size WEIGHT BREAKING BREAKING Nutech®-Plus is an 8 strand plaited rope with 6 48 233.2 43.0 422 100m COIL LOAD LOAD CIRC DIA KILOS TONNES kN 61/2 52 277.2 50.5 495 Inches mm a melting point of 165°C.
