MOORING TAILS

After properly installing the mooring lines on the winch drum, the tails should be attached to the working end of the mooring line. This is done by cow hitch connection per MEG4 guidelines.

XLROPE^®- Nylon:

Characteristics:

• Cow-hitch available

• Higher residual strength than parallel-core constructions

• Good flex-fatigue resistance

• Good shock absorption

• Easy to inspect and splice

• Meets MEG4 guidelines

General:

• Construction: 8/12 Strands

• Fiber: Nylon

• Color: White

• The Tail Design Break Force (TDBF) needs to be higher than the LDBF, because the tail experiences more wear in service than line.

• The TDBF of tails should be 125%-130% of ship design MBL.

XLROPE^®- PP & PES Mixed:

Characteristics:

• High strength, Shock mitigation

• Excellent wet strength retention, Durable in wet conditions

• Single-leg

• 11/18/22-meter length

• Easy to splice

• Meets MEG4 guidelines

General:

• Construction: 8/12 Strands

• Fiber: PP & PES Mixed

• Color: White

Characteristics
