Product catalog summary
Overview: The FLX Mooring System is presented as a superior alternative to conventional mooring lines for cruise liners, offering benefits such as being lighter, more compact, and economical. It emphasizes the use of Dyneema® fibers, particularly SK78, for enhanced performance and cost efficiency.
Key Features:
  • Material Benefits: The system utilizes Dyneema® SK78 fibers, which are noted for their super-lightweight, buoyant, and easy handling properties. These fibers are claimed to last significantly longer than other HMPE fibers under equal load and temperature conditions.
  • Performance Comparison: The document compares the FLX Mooring System with traditional mooring lines, highlighting the advantages in terms of weight and buoyancy. For example, the FLX system is buoyant and significantly lighter, with an overall assembly weight of 267.6kg compared to traditional systems weighing over 740kg.
Technical Specifications:
  • Main Mooring Line: DynaOne® with a diameter of 46mm and a line length of 190m.
  • Mooring Tail: PowerPlus grommet with a diameter of 80mm and a line length of 11m.
  • Atlas Rope: [xxx]flex with a diameter of 80mm and a line length of 200m.
  • Material Composition: 50% Polysteel and 50% Polyester.
  • Breaking Load (BL) Linear: 146,000daN for the main mooring line.
  • Weight Comparison: The FLX system's weight per 100m is 99.8kg, significantly lighter than traditional lines which weigh 382kg per 100m.
Conclusion: The FLX Mooring System offers a modern solution for cruise liners, providing significant weight savings and improved handling due to its buoyant nature and advanced material composition. It is particularly beneficial for large vessels like the Oasis of the Seas, as indicated by the example figures provided.
