      • Reduced Snap Back Ropes

      • Μooring operation is one of the most important and critical tasks that are performed on vessels by the seafarers. Securing a ship to a terminal is highly demanding and very often it hinders many dangers for crew/ per- sonnel and equipment if all safety factors related to mooring rope are not properly addressed. In the serious event of rope partition, an extreme amount of energy is released resulting in a rapid recoiling effect which in many cases can cost human lives. This is known as the snap-back effect. Katradis Marine Ropes Industry SA focused on the most effective solutions for the marine industry, always goes the extra mile, in order to provide the maximum safety in every mooring operation.
          • Rope Protectors

              • Nika® Lube Spray

              • Rope anti-abrassion lubricant
                Nika® Lube Spray is a special lubricant, used to improve the abrasion performance of synthetic fiber ropes.

                The main benefit of this product is the enhanced abrasion resistance both in yarn to yarn and yarn to metal surface friction.

                Nika® Lube Spray can be applied to any fiber rope surface that is intended to be used in high abrasion conditions. The coefficient of friction will be decreased and thus the resistance to abrasion will be more effective
            • Mooring Tails

            • Mooring Tails or mooring pendants are special-length ropes that introduce elasticity in a high Modulus (low stretch) mooring & towing line, providing safer operations.

              Their primary use is to give elasticity in a low stretch line (High Modulus Synthetic Rope or Wire Rope) which reduces the peak loads and extends the service life.

              This way, small vessel movements (i.e. caused by swell or even waves) are absorbed by the mooring tail’s elongation and do no subject the main line in high loads.
              KATRADIS Mooring Tails are ideal for use in Mooring, STS & Towing operations. KATRADIS Mooring Tails are constructed according to the latest regulations and recommendations of OCIMF for the safe mooring of tankers, LNG and LPG vessels.

              KATRADIS Mooring Tails are also appropriate for use in Cruise Ships, Bulk Carriers and Container Ships. The standard tail length for tankers, LNG and LPG vessels is 11m or 22m.

              The 22m length tails made from Nylon fiber are considered as “exposed berths standard”. They are highly recommended as they offer better surge, swell and shock load absorption properties. The high length of the tail (22m) and the high elasticity of the material (Nylon) can reduce significantly the imposed axial stress in the main line (Mooring or Tugging)

              Each splice has minimum 5 tucks (depending also on the requested finished tail’s length) Each tail has two spliced eyes, with standard lengths of 1,8m (6ft) and 0,9m (3ft) length
