The use of mooring tails is highly recommended with low elongation lines, such as steel wire ropes and High Performance synthetic ropes (UHMWPE, Aramid and LCP) for the mooring of the tankers, LNG’s & LPG’s, but also for the Cruise ships & Bulk Carriers.

Discover our selection of Mooring Tails, designed to ensure peak safety in your maritime operations. Our Mooring Tails are engineered to complement our HMPE & LCP Mooring Ropes, enhancing elasticity and shock absorption capabilities.

Find all the answers about the basic considerations when selecting the specific material, construction, length and size of mooring tail.

The use of mooring tails is highly recommended with low elongation lines, such as steel wire ropes and high performance synthetic ropes (UHMWPE, Aramid and LCP) for the mooring of the tankers, LNG’s & LPG’s, but also for the Cruise ships & Bulk Carriers.

For manufacturers, following the MEG4 means crafting loose equipment with enhanced safety taking into consideration material behavior, performance testing, risk assessment and safety margins of mooring lines and mooring tails.

NIKA-Nylon® mooring tails exhibit very high strengths & excellent dynamic load and shock absorption properties. 22m Nylon Mooring tails are ideal as mooring tails in exposed berths/terminals. Nylon fibers exhibit the highest elongation properties among synthetic fibers that are intended for high-demanding operations.

Using of mooring tails When Siri® UHMWPE High Performance ropes are used as mooring line, this line must always include a mooring tail. The tails must have good elongation properties in order to avoid shock loads. A shock load may damage the rope and lead to instant failure (even if the rope looked and/or was in good condition).

The use of mooring tails is highly recommended with low elongation lines, such as steel wire ropes and High Performance synthetic ropes (UHMWPE, Aramid and LCP) for the mooring of the tankers, LNG’s & LPG’s, but also for the ruise ships & ulk arriers.

The connection of a Siri® High Performance rope with the mooring tail can be done with the use of a mooring link (bolt type) or shackle (roller type) or directly with cow-hitch. The SWL of the link or shackle must be equal or greater than the WLL of the mooring line.
