Tipto®Winchline for World Dream cruise ship

Recently Lankhorst Ropes’ rope technicians gave the crew of the newly built, World Dream cruise vessel training on rope splicing. Later that day, they assisted in installation of the Tipto®Winchline mooring lines.
 
Based on Lankhorst's Tipto yarn, the seven strand Tipto®Winchline features an overbraided jacket, protecting the rope from wear and tear during handling and increasing service life. Importantly, Tipto®Winchline also reduces the threat to passengers and crew from mooring rope snap back, providing a safer mooring. If the rope breaks due to excessive load, the braided cover acts as a net, capturing the two parted ends. The jacket absorbs the generated energy from the broken rope, and thus reduces the effects of snap back.
