When everything’s on the line

Ever-increasing vessel sizes have called for mooring ropes thicker in diameter and heavier in weight making them hard to manage by vessel crews. We offer a wide range of synthetic mooring solutions made-to-measure in various materials and fit for different operational environments. Our synthetic ropes create lighter mooring solutions that are easy to handle and safe in use.

Customising your mooring rope system to your needs

Tailored to you

In close cooperation with our customers, we design the mooring system that best matches your requirements taking the performance of each mooring component into account.

Mainlines

Mainlines are the strength of the mooring system. We produce mainlines in various synthetic materials to fit the most challenging operational environments.

Tails

Tails are necessary to provide elasticity in the mooring configuration and are connected to the mainline through a cow hitch.

Rope connections

Ropes can be connected in various ways via:

Cow hitch
It can be used if both ropes have eyes and are protected with a strong protective cloth to prevent damage to the eyes.

Soft shackle
Can be replaced without having to de-install the ropes. It floats, is light in weight, easy to open and close, is self locking under load and abrasion resistant.

Finding the right solutions together

By joining forces with our customers we are able to efficiently design, engineer and manufacture made-to-measure synthetic rope solutions that are reliable, safe and best fit your specific requirements.
It’s far more than just the breaking load.

Let’s build your mooring solution together, one that works just for you

For made-to-measure solutions that are reliable, safe and best fit your needs.

Tried and tested for your peace of mind

BEXCO’s ropes have stood the test of time in some of the world’s harshest marine environments. However, we don’t see that as your only guarantee of safety and performance. We also rigorously and comprehensively test all our synthetic rope constructions in different configurations. These include break load testing, stiffness and fatigue testing, influence of twist and small D/d ratios. The test facility can be used for proof loading and length verification.
