Facilities OFFSHORE The factories are dedicated to the design, production and testing of offshore mooring ropes and specialty products such as deep water installation ropes. Modern production and testing equipment permits all the following activities to be undertaken in-house: • Conversion (twisting) of flat yarn into rope yarn • Stranding of rope yarns into strands • Braiding or twisting of strands into subropes • Application of soil ingress filters • Production of braided jacket material (twisted yarn / cut resistant tape) • Closing (over braiding) of subropes into mooring ropes •...

Synthetic fiber tethers have a proven track in demanding offshore applications such as riser and umbilical tethers and mooring mid-water arches. The use of synthetic fiber tethers such as the LANKO®FORCE & GAMA98® Dyneema® has significant performance advantages over chain and steel wire tethers. In addition to being lighter and with almost neutral buoyancy, synthetic fiber tethers offer: • Reduced cost of buoyancy elements • No corrosion • No fatigue issues • Easy system installation

RISERS, UMBILICALS AND MWA TETHERS Strength, weight and stiffness LANKO®FORCE and GAMA98® Dyneema® ropes has the same (or lower) size of the conventional steel wire rope and the corresponding weight is 7 times lower. In water, it has with a negligible weight. The stiffness is similar to steel wire. Filter Filter elements are included between jacket and sub-rope cores. They are effective in filtering out particles greater than 5 microns whilst allowing free flooding of the rope. Creep Under constant loading, LANKO®FORCE and GAMA98® Dyneema® rope can show an irreversible deformation that will...

OFFSHORE Dyneema* www.lankhorstropes.com GAMA98® Rope made with Dyneema® is manufactured from high efficiency sub-ropes cores (strength member) laid parallel within an outer braided jacket (non-strength member). The sub-cores are high efficiency braided Dyneema® ropes. The external jacket is a 32-carrier twill polyester braid. This construction is torque balanced and is one of the strongest rope constructions currently available. The breaking load is the same whether the rope is wet or dry and considerably higher than nylon or polyester size for size. The characteristics of high strength,...
