SEAKEEPER

Snap back is the most common factor for seafarers injuries and fatalities during mooring lines failures. Because fiber ropes under tension wil stretch and contain huge energy which could be suddenly released if ropes break. This snap-back effect can be extremely powerful and the rope ends back movements may reach a velocity of up to more than 500 km/h as they recoil. To reduce the hazard of snack back, MSS® technical team devotes to research and develop a new type of rope to restraint recoiling process.

Design Construction

Within the apperance of normal 12-strand mooring line, MSS® rope holds within a special designed inner core. If the outer construction breakes, the inner core absorbs the snap back forces so that can reduce the risk of snap back.
