8/12 Strand Polypropylene Rope
Description:
Ropes are the main components of the mooring system, and are used for both the mooring lines and grid system lines. In many cases, chain is coupled with fibre rope, sections of chain on a mooring line provide weight and wear resistance where it is most needed, while fibre sections keep weight down and improve the manageability of the system.
8/12 strand polypropylene rope is widely used as mooring line, it has same strength either under wet condition or normal condition. It is easy operation, chemical corrosion resistance, drain well, keep in dark place. PP ropes are also commonly used in hold fenders in place during ship to ship transfer operations, also in aquaculture industry, like seaweed cultivations.
Steel thimbles are spliced into the rope to reinforce the rope look(eye splice) where it is connected to metal equipment (shackles, rings, etc.). Thimbles used for moorings are usually tube type and open type. And, oval shaped master link are usually inserted into steel thimbles to faciliate connection. The function of thimble is to protect the rope eyelet from abrasion, wear, and crushing forces, and maintain the rope's shape and load distribution under tension. And the function of master link is acting as a central connecting point for multiple shackles, ropes, or chains, distributing loads evenly across linked components.
Applications in Marine Operations:
Fish Farm Grids:
Thimbles protect rope connections between cages and anchor lines.
Master links join multiple mooring lines to a single anchor block.
Kelp Longlines:
Polymer-coated thimbles prevent biofouling on suspension ropes.
Master links enable modular grid expansion or contraction.
Platform Anchoring:
Thimbles secure HMPE ropes to deadweight anchors on lakebeds.
Master links connect arrays of floating panels to centralized mooring points.
Quick-Release Systems:
Thimbles integrated with synthetic ropes reduce wear during frequent docking.
Master links provide a unified connection point for fenders, ropes, and winches.
Barge Tie-Downs:
Thimbled ropes attach to bollards or cleats, minimizing chafing.
Master links consolidate lines from multiple vessels to shared dock anchors.
