COMPANY PROFILE In the spring of 1934, midst in the Great Depression, 13 individuals gathered a small fortune to start up an industrial company to manufacture fishing nets, ropes and fishing long lines for the Icelandic fishing fleet. Hampidjan has since evolved to become one of the largest fishing gear and high tech ropes manufacturer of the world, having 35 entities in 12 countries with over 900 employees. We have made relentless product development the essence of our being. We do that so our customers know that if they are with Hampidjan, using advanced DynIce and DynIce Dux ultra high performance...

The need for large diameter ropes in very long lengths is increasing as drilling and installation is today feasible at depths down to 3000 meters in certain areas. At such depth it becomes practically impossible to work with steel wire ropes due to their own weight. Synthetic ropes from high performance materials like Dyneema® are then a good alternative as they are lighter than water and floating. For the production of DynIce Deep Sea ropes the largest 12 strand braider built in the world is used for that purpose. The rope is available as a 12 strand braid with durable impregnation and with...

DynIce Warp is the most advanced patent pending and complex design of a winch line for deep sea lifting and lowering as well as for towing fishing trawls. The rope consists of 6 different layers to make the line with very high cross-sectional stability and axial stiffness. Wire ropes have limitations due to own weight and at extreme depth the weight of the wire itself exceeds the working load limit. DynIce Warp has no such limitations as the rope is lighter than water and floats even though the strength exceeds the strength of wire rope of same diameter. It is excellent choice as winch wire rope...

ynIce Warp on drum winch diameter sheave The DynIce Warp has similar strength as steel wire in same diameter and the axial stiffness is very high or about half of the steel wire stiffness and elongation at break is around 3,5%. The construction of the DynIce Warp makes it the most advanced high tech rope design available. There are two separate and individual patents pending for this unique high performance rope. The cover is moulded on top of the rope with new patent pending technology. The bonding between cover and core enables force transfer from the cover and into the rope which is the main...

DYN ICE COAXIAL WINCH WARPS Electrical conductivity with extreme pulling power. DynIce Coaxial Winch Warps are patented advanced high performance winch ropes with the unique tight Warp construction and stiffness resembling steel wire. They can be spooled automatically and the strength members are carefully protected under a durable cover. In addition of being offered with an MBL exceeding 1.000Te, they are now available with up to 8 coaxial cables for data transfer and electrical current, for subsea data connections and power, no matter how deep you need to go. Incorporating the latest technology...

DYN ICE COAXIAL WINCH WARPS Electrical conductivity with extreme pulling power. Hampidjan´s DynIce Coaxial Winch Warps are the most advanced high performance winch ropes from synthetic fibers available today, with their unique tight construction and stiffness resembling steel wire. They are also carefully protected under a jacket that is bonded to the strength member. The Winch Warps have been used in over 200 projects all over the world, from fishing and Oceanographic vessels, on offshore winch systems, in salvage operations and where quality engineered solutions are of importance. The Warps...

TECHNORA WINCH WARPS Heat resistant warps for demanding applications. Hampidjan´s patented Technora Winch Warps are tightly constructed ropes made from Technora fibers, with Technora cover bonded on the strength member for added wear protection. The Warps are designed to operate on winches where high temperature is a concern. The construction is the same as for our other Warp ropes, they are heat set with a core to increase stiffness and to help the rope mantain its circular shape, even under load. A custom impregnation is used to increase the life of the rope in cyclic bending situations (CBOS)....

DynIce current-temperature-depth (CT) cables are Dyneema based single conductor coax (or fiber) cables. They are a new alternative to current metal based cables, providing neutrally buoyant, lightweight data transfer cables for oceanographic operations. The DynIce CTD cables are designed to work on drum or traction winches. The length limitation for DynIce CTD cables in one continous lenght is 9 km. The DynIce CTD was originally designed for transmission of sonar signals from headline sonar on advanced fishing trawls. The headline sonar is placed on the top front of the trawl. Besides sending...

Custom made DynIce Heavy Lifting Slings with minimum intersling tolerance. Engineered lifts require often special made lifting slings which are designed and manufactured to meet the exact requirements in order to secure safe operation. For each project a special drawing is made showing all details and markings and load rates. Colour coding of eyes and legs in different color to ensure right selection of slings for the task is made according to customers’ requirements. Assistance with sling configuration and lifting points design is provided as well as calculation of safety factors according to...

Polyester coverbraid Optional colour coding Nominal length ±1% at SWL, intersling tolerance less than ±0,25% Comprehensive certification package is made for each sling including description, calculations, drawings and all certificates. Preferably we work with DNV for certification and initial setup of rope sling properties.

Adjustable lifting slings for maximum accuracy and minimal preparation time for complex lifting operations. Some lifts are more complicated than others and the object lifted is sometimes very delicate. With steel slings, chains and shackles this can be time consuming but there is another alternative - DynIce Adjustable Slings. Lifting and lowering of jumper oil well connections is a good example of delicate lifting operation of fragile object. Multiple slings are attached to number of lifting points and the sling length have to be accurate so to avoid strain or bending of the jumper. The length...
