Mooring Hawsers
OCIMF recommends that when selecting hawsers, terminal operators should take into account Hawser selection criteria include strength but also energy absorption and fatigue performance. Detailed information can be found in the OCIMF 2000 ‘Guidelines for the Purchasing and Testing of SPM Hawsers’
Single Point Mooring Hawsers are typically used in the Oil & Gas Industry whereby an Oil Tanker (or any ship) can be securely moored to an offshore Floating Production Storage Offloading Facility (FPSO), offshore Floating Storage and Offloading Unit (FSO), Tanker Buoy as depicted above.
Characteristics
● Manufactured and tested in accordance with the OCIMF 2000 Guidelines.
● NDBS: New Dry Breaking Strength / NWBS: New Wet breaking Strength.
● Specific gravity of swa water assume 1,025.
● Other sizes are available upon request (Maximum production size -Dia. 300mm).
Please consider the following General Information regarding SPM Hawser Design Specifications and Features:
● Typical SPM Hawser Rope Fiber Materials include Nylon, Polyester, Polypropylene / Polyester fiber blend.
● Typical SPM Hawser Rope Construction include 8-Strand, 12-Strand, and Double Braids.
● Typical SPM Hawsers are generally in the range 45m—100m + custom in length.
● Maximum SPM Hawser Single Leg Rope Diameter = 7-0” or 22” circular.
● Typical SPM Hawsers are either Single Leg or Double Leg / Grommet style.
● Typical SPM Hawsers can be supplied with Soft Covered Eyes and or Hard Thimble Eyes.
● Typical SPM Hawser Thimbles styles include Cast, Tubular, Bell Mouth, etc.
● Typical SPM Hawsers can be provided with Lace-on-Floats and or Orange Polyurethane / Inherent Buoyancy.
● Lace-on-Floats and Orange Polyurethane provide the required buoyancy, abrasion resistance, and fiber protection.
● Typical SPM Hawser Available Quality Certificates include: Loyds, BV, ABS / DNV.
● SPM Hawsers are Manufactured and Tested in accordance with OCMIF 2000 Guidelines.
