Towing Rope
Marine towing ropes are essential equipment used for towing vessels, barges, or other floating structures. They are designed to withstand high loads and harsh marine environments. These ropes are typically made from synthetic fibers such as polyester, polypropylene, or nylon, which offer high strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion and UV degradation.
Overview
Marine towing ropes come in various sizes and configurations to suit different towing needs. They are often equipped with spliced eyes or metal thimbles at the ends for easy attachment to towlines or vessels. Additionally, some towing ropes are equipped with integrated floats to keep them afloat and visible on the water surface.
Towing cables can be divided into the following common towing cables according to their structure and uses:
Ordinary towing cable: It consists of two or four steel wire ropes of the same specification and is suitable for general towing operations.
Segmented tow cable: It is a special tow cable, usually used for offshore tugboat operations. This streamer consists of multiple segments, each of which is connected by connectors.
