FLX Mooring System

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.

Specifications: The system utilizes Dyneema® SK78 fibers, which are noted for their longevity compared to other HMPE fibers under equal load and temperature conditions. The main components include DynaOne® as the main mooring line and PowerPlus grommet as the mooring tail.

Performance and Benefits: The FLX Mooring System is described as super-lightweight, buoyant, and easy to handle. Lines made with SK78 are expected to last significantly longer, reducing lifetime costs.

Comparison with Traditional Mooring Lines: The document provides a comparison between the FLX Mooring System and traditional mooring lines, highlighting the following:

Diameter: FLX uses a 46mm diameter compared to 80mm in traditional lines.
Line Length: FLX has a line length of 190m, while traditional lines are 200m.
Breaking Load (BL) Linear: FLX has a BL linear of 146,000daN, compared to 139,950daN and 141,000daN for traditional lines.
Weight: FLX is significantly lighter, with a weight of 189.6kg compared to 764kg and 740kg for traditional lines.
Overall Weight of Assembly: FLX assembly weighs 267.6kg (590lbs), whereas traditional assemblies weigh 764kg (1,684lbs) and 740kg (1,631lbs).
Buoyancy: FLX is buoyant, while traditional lines are non-buoyant and three times as heavy.

Conclusion: The FLX Mooring System offers a more efficient and cost-effective solution for cruise liners, with significant advantages in weight, handling, and longevity.
