Single point mega-yacht mooring rope

Manufactured to OCIMF guidelines that makes it ideal for superyachts and megayachts using single buoy or monopoint mooring systems, Cosalt Safety & Protection's Megaflex 8 Strand is made from high tenacity polypropylene and polyester composite fibres.

The company says it combines excellent resistance to abrasion and deterioration with exceptional strength. The slow rate of fatigue is comparable to pure polyester but the weight for a given strength is comparable to nylon.

Wet strength is also equal to dry strength, making it an ideal rope for mooring tails. In use, the rope remains flexible and easy to splice and, Cosalt says, like all plaited ropes it does not rotate.

Megaflex resists frictional heat damage and offers good shock load absorption. Fully UV stabilised, the rope does not absorb water and has excellent chemical resistance properties except in the presence of alkalis.

Available in a range of sizes from 32mm to 168mm Megaflex provides minimum breaking loads of between 300kN and 5526kN.

The rope is coloured white with a yellow and black tracer yarn.
