The maritime sector is continuously evolving to meet the challenges today. However, one thing remains at the heart of all mooring operations and that is safety. That is why Dyneema® invests in innovation and rigorous testing to ensure vessel owners using mooring lines with Dyneema® SK78 get reliable and unparalleled performance under all conditions.

Many vessel owners rely on rope with Dyneema® SK78 for their mooring operations. The combination of larger vessels, exposed terminals and rapid climate change means that mooring lines are increasingly subjected to extreme conditions both in terms of load and temperature. In extreme environments, be it hot climates, fluctuating loads, or a combination of both, you want mooring lines that provide you peace of mind from day one onwards.

Superior performance in warm climate temperature and extreme conditions

Alongside our premium fiber rope partners, Dyneema® remains at the heart of developing mooring safety and operational excellence. Rigorous testing, proven methodologies and studies are conducted with our rope manufacturing partners to ensure our fiber remains at the pinnacle of safety and performance.

With global temperatures rising and ship sizes increasing, it is becoming more and more important to determine the (fatigue) loading conditions and their impact on rope residual life.

We have thus co-developed a rope performance model in cooperation with Samson Rope Technologies to predict rope temperature in any condition where a rope is subjected to dynamic loading conditions. Combining the temperature model with DSM’s proprietary Performance Model, the lifetime of a mooring line can be predicted more accurately than ever before. The white paper is available for download here.
