PA DB12 SPM

Single Point Mooring Rope — OCIMF SPM Hawser Guidelines

The NWBS and energy-absorption characteristics of an SPM hawser degrade progressively with service life and cyclic load handling. PA DB12 SPM answers this with an engineered dual-component construction of high-performance polyamide 6.6 fibres — 12-strand braided core with a polyamide braided cover — for advanced offshore loading & unloading in all weather conditions.
