Product Description
Mooring Tail Rope
Introduction
When ships use steel wires, they are typically equipped with mooring tail ropes. Chemical fiber mooring tail ropes have elongation several times greater than steel wires, enhancing elasticity and buffering force to cope with sudden impacts from strong winds, ensuring the safe use of mooring cables. A mooring tail rope is usually 11 meters long (can also be produced according to customer - required specifications). Both ends of the hemp core are generally inserted with 4-5 flower - shaped iron heads (sections) and added with wear - resistant protective sleeves.
Special Applications of Mooring Tail Ropes
1. Adaptation to Extreme Marine Weather
-
Ship Anchoring During Typhoon Seasons
In typhoon - prone sea areas (such as the South China Sea, the Caribbean Sea), mooring tail ropes, with their high elasticity and strong buffering capacity (the elongation of chemical fiber ropes absorbs shocks), can ease the sudden impact of typhoon - increased winds on steel cables, preventing cable breakage and ensuring the safe anchoring of ships in ports/anchorages.
Example: Tropical cyclone - prone ports (e.g., Singapore Port) use mooring tails to buffer sudden wind surges, protecting steel wires from breakage during typhoons.
-
Mooring of Polar Research Vessels
In extremely low - temperature polar environments (below - 40ºC), traditional steel cables tend to become brittle. However, some mooring tail ropes (such as high - strength polypropylene ones) can maintain toughness (high - strength polypropylene retains flexibility), suitable for ice - area mooring and ice shelf fixing operations of Antarctic/Arctic research vessels, ensuring the safety of scientific research equipment.
Example: Antarctic research vessels deploy mooring tails to secure to ice shelves; the ropes' low - temperature toughness prevents brittleness - related failures.
2. Special Scenarios in Marine Engineering
-
Offshore Wind Power Operation and Maintenance
During the "temporary mooring" operations of wind turbine towers, mooring tail ropes can quickly connect operation and maintenance (O&M) vessels to the towers (quick - connect for O&M vessels). Their lightweight and easy - to - handle characteristics (lightweight & flexible) enable crew members to efficiently complete mooring on swaying decks, facilitating blade replacement and equipment maintenance.
Example: Offshore wind farm technicians use mooring tails to temporarily secure service vessels to turbines; the ropes' ease of handling speeds up maintenance workflows.
-
Fixing of Deep - Sea Aquaculture Cages
In deep - sea aquaculture (such as Norwegian salmon cages), mooring tail ropes can replace traditional iron chains. With their seawater - resistant and low - elongation properties (saltwater - resistant & low - stretch), they can stably fix the cages for a long time. Moreover, due to their low self - weight, they can reduce the risk of "sagging deformation" of the cages and ensure the aquaculture space.
Example: Norwegian deep - sea aquaculture uses mooring tails to anchor fish cages; the ropes' corrosion resistance and low stretch maintain cage shape for years.
3. Special Operations
-
Rapid Anchoring of Amphibious Combat Vessels
During exercises, amphibious landing ships need to quickly anchor on beaches to unload equipment. The "elastic buffering + custom short - length" (elastic buffer + custom short lengths) characteristics of mooring tail ropes can adapt to the complex terrain of beaches (soft mud, reefs), quickly establish temporary anchoring points, and improve the efficiency of combat deployment.
Example: Amphibious raid ships use custom - length mooring tails for rapid beach landings; the ropes' elasticity adapts to uneven seabeds, speeding up equipment deployment.
-
Recovery of Underwater Robots (ROVs)
When recovering deep - sea ROVs after operations, mooring tail ropes can be used as "auxiliary traction ropes" (auxiliary recovery line). With their high strength and anti - entanglement properties (high - strength & anti - entanglement), they can accurately connect ROVs to mother ships, avoiding the entanglement of steel cables and ROV equipment during recovery and ensuring the safety of expensive equipment.
Example: Deep - sea ROVs use mooring tails for recovery; the ropes' strength and anti - tangle design prevent damage during retrieval.
4. Cultural Heritage Protection
- Salvage and Restoration of Ancient Ships
In projects such as salvaging ancient sunken ships from the Ming Dynasty, mooring tail ropes can be used as "flexible slings" (flexible lifting slings). With their low - elongation and non - metal damage properties (non - damaging to artifacts), they can gently fix the wreckage of ancient ships, avoiding the fragmentation of cultural relics caused by the extrusion of steel cables, and contributing to the protection of cultural heritage.
Example: Archaeological salvage of ancient ships (e.g., Ming - dynasty wrecks) uses mooring tails as soft slings, protecting fragile artifacts from metal - related damage.
