Back-up lines made with Dyneema^® can be used as a back-up scenario in the event of steel wire rope (SWR) or chain breaks in mooring legs of rig’s, MODU’s, BTM’s and the alike. In case the SWR is already damaged, back-up lines with Dyneema^® can be installed as a safety feature until regular maintenance takes place.

Dyneema^® is both the world’s strongest fiber and the only HMPE fiber scientifically engineered to overcome abrasion, bending fatigue, compression, and creep fatigue. Challenges that are familiar to all users of mooring and tow ropes.

How using mooring ropes made with Dyneema^® can increase safety and return on investment for LNG carriers and FSRU vessels

Achieve up to 4 times higher service life with Dyneema^® SK78. Mooring ropes with Dyneema^® SK78 massively outperform alternative ropes in abrasion and creep lifetime comparisons, without sacrificing strength and reliability.

So you think all HMPE is the same?

Samson Rope Technologies and DSM Dyneema undertook a 2-year long joint program to establish a better understanding of retirement criteria of synthetic fiber ropes.

Research Paper: Abrasion and Residual Strength of Fiber Tuglines

To establish a better understanding of retirement criteria of a rope in service, approximately 40 AmSteel Blue ropes made from Dyneema SK75 HMPE fiber were field-tested.
