Also, compared to steel ropes, it requires much less maintenance and is considerably lighter and easier to handle, facilitating rapid mooring.

This rope has excellent resistance to abrasion and will become more flexible and easier to handle with extensive use. Standard length is 220 mtr. When ordering, please specify the diam and length of the rope and if one or both ends of the rope should be eye spliced. Relative density : 1.14.
