Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) are included in the category of the largest tanker vessels with a size in excess of 250,000 DWT, transferring huge volumes of crude oil around the world. In the critical and demanding task of securing such a ship into a terminal, our strong and durable Siri HMPE mooring ropes made of Honeywell’s Spectra fibers is the ideal choice for safety and high performance in mooring operations.
With several benefits over competitive high modulus ropes and also steel wire ropes, our Spectra-Siri is the choice of MARAN Tankers Management Inc. for the mooring equipment of the upcoming newbuilding VLCC vessel MARAN ANTIOPE.
Ease of handling, excellent mechanical properties, high tenacity, negligible maintenance costs, and very long service lifetime are five key characteristics of Spectra-Siri ropes which are manufactured under our very own Siri heat-setting technology and have been approved and certified as per the latest guidelines of OCIMF (MEG4, Mooring Equipment Guidelines 4th edition).
