Marine applications such as commercial shipping and offshore energy production all require the utmost safety and efficiency. Rigging plays a crucial role in keeping these operations safe and effective. The right rigging equipment can make or break your marine application. Here are some recommended marine rigging solutions and just what makes them so effective.
Corrosion-Resistant Wire Rope
It’s no surprise that wire rope is highly utilized in marine applications. Its strength and durability makes lifting that much easier on ships and offshore platforms. Corrosion-resistant wire rope is especially crucial in marine environments, ensuring a longer lifespan in harsh environmental conditions.
Synthetic Rope
Synthetic ropes have an admirable strength-to-weight ratio, which allows for greater stability during marine applications like sailing and lifting. They are also much lighter, making them easier to transport. Synthetic rope is the perfect rigging equipment for marine applications like mooring and anchor lines.
Stainless Steel Components
We can’t emphasize enough how susceptible rigging equipment can be to corrosion, especially in a marine environment. For this reason, stainless steel components, in addition to wire rope, are our go-tos when working in saltwater environments. Being less likely to corrode means minimal maintenance and longer-lasting marine rigging equipment.
Anchor Chains
Anchor chains play a vital role in stability and safety on a floating vessel. Their durability allows them to handle harsh marine environments such as strong currents, turbulent waves and abrasive saltwater. Chains’ load-bearing capacity allows them to distribute weight evenly across your marine rigging system, reducing strain on individual components and preventing excess movement.
Custom Rigging Equipment
No two marine applications are the same – everything from the body of water to the type of vessel you are on can affect your operations. In such situations, you may opt for custom marine rigging equipment. Whether you need custom shackles, hooks, rope or something else, a custom solution will ensure that you meet the demands of your project.
