Mooring Tail Usage

Connecting the Mooring Tails with the main High Modulus Ropes

Cow-Hitch connection is compliant for UHMWPE ropes. Furthermore, the use of special Protectors reduces the fatigue at the pressure points and does not affect the line and tail strength.

Mooring links are ideal when connecting the mooring tail with a wire-rope. They can also be used for the connection with Siri® High Performance ropes.

It is advised to replace the mooring tails after 18 months of use, unless inspection calls for earlier retirement.
