Go deeper using Anchor Ropes with Dyneema®
Advanced technology for MODU and barge mooring
With offshore operators moving into deeper waters and repositioning more frequently, there is a growing need for strong, lightweight mooring ropes. Ropes with Dyneema® SK78 can be positioned and repositioned more easily, including near and over subsea pipelines and structures.
Significantly lower operational costs
Ropes with Dyneema® SK78 are lighter, stronger, and safer than steel wire and polyester ropes. So you can use smaller boats to reposition anchor ropes. And reduce repositioning time by 30%.
- Less risk of damaging subsea installations
- Minimize impact on ecologically sensitive areas
- Go deeper and reposition faster
Making light work of a complex float-over
With sensitive subsea structures and a tight deadline, Dockwise needed anchor ropes that wouldn't damage anything. And wouldn't break.

Exceptionally low creep performance with Dyneema® Max Technology
The exceptionally low and predictable creep characteristics of Dyneema® Max Technology extend the range of applications to long-term permanently loaded systems. Even better, the elongation is easy to model using our Creep Design Tool. This enables engineers to treat creep elongation as just another design parameter.
Dyneema® XBO Technology
Rope made with HMPE fiber already outperforms other synthetic fibers on bending performance. Now, with Dyneema® XBO Technology, HMPE ropes can have similar bending performance as specialty steel wire ropes. Result: Dyneema® XBO Technology significantly extends the service life of HMPE ropes under extreme bending conditions.
Where to buy
Only anchor ropes made with Dyneema® bear the Dyneema® diamond. Only our licensed partners make them. Find your anchor ropes with Dyneema® by clicking on one of our official partners, below.
Enabling renewables
Meeting climate change targets will require a mix of renewable energy solutions. Strong and lightweight Dyneema® can help developers cut the cost of renewable energy today – and enable the innovative renewable technologies we will need going forward.

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.
