Mooring ropes and systems engineered for extreme load, fatigue resistance, and long service life — from dry cargo and tankers to deepwater energy platforms.
A mooring system isn't just a rope — it's the engineered connection between a billion-dollar asset and the forces of wind, current, and wave. When an FPSO holds station in 2,000 meters of water, the mooring lines are the single point of trust.
Through Lankhorst, WireCo delivers mooring systems certified to DNV, Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's, and ABS requirements — backed by global manufacturing, engineering support, and decades of deepwater experience.
From the manufacturing floor to deepwater installations — see how WireCo mooring systems are engineered, tested, and deployed in the world's most demanding maritime and energy operations.
Explore WireCo’s specific solutions, products, and expertise.
Deepwater mooring keeps FPSOs, semi-submersibles, and offshore platforms on station in water depths exceeding 2,000 metres. WireCo's Lankhorst Ropes delivers permanent and semi-permanent mooring lines in UHMWPE fibre that provide steel-equivalent strength at a fraction of the weight.
Dry cargo vessels require mooring systems that keep ships securely alongside during loading and unloading operations in all weather conditions. WireCo's Lankhorst Ropes provides synthetic fibre mooring lines that outperform traditional steel wire in strength-to-weight ratio, handling safety, and service life.
Deepwater mooring keeps FPSOs, semi-submersibles, and offshore platforms on station in water depths exceeding 2,000 metres. WireCo delivers semi-permanent mooring lines that provide steel-equivalent strength at a fraction of the weight.
Synthetic and hybrid mooring lines for FPSOs, semi-submersibles, and floating production systems in deepwater and ultra-deepwater fields. Designed for decades of service with predictable creep, fatigue, and corrosion performance.
Mooring and station-keeping solutions for offshore wind platforms, floating solar, and renewable energy installations. Proven synthetic rope technology engineered for the transition to offshore renewables.
Maritime operators require ropes and mooring lines that serve as the vital connection between ship and shore. WireCo provides premium synthetic ropes and mooring lines for the world's leading shipping companies, tug and towing operators, dredgers and cruise vessels.
Mooring lines, tails, and accessories for bulk carriers, container ships, and general cargo vessels. Engineered to MEG4-compliant specifications with predictable stretch, high break strength, and safe working loads.
Mooring systems for tankers carrying crude, refined products, chemicals, and LNG. Built for OCIMF/MEG4 compliance, terminal interoperability, and the heightened safety demands of liquid cargo operations.
Purpose-built mooring ropes and tails for cruise ships and large passenger vessels. Optimized for frequent port calls, high-visibility operations, and predictable performance under changing berth and weather conditions.
