SEAMASTER

Cable Laid Buoy and Grapnel Ropes

Rope designed to meet the special demands of the Cable Laying vessels and the marine environments in which they operate. The ropes offer the combined strength of steel with superior corrosion resistance through galvanised wires/strands oversheathed with PVC and the handling benefits of natural fibre.

Key properties of "Seamaster" grapnel ropes

Benefits - lower effective weight in water compared to steel rope

3 strand construction offers superior torque stability compared with 6 strand construction aids recoiling. Manila fibre offers high frictional grip without heat degradation of man-made fibre when operating with winches, rollers and bollards etc.

All ropes can be supplied fitted with either "thimble and links" or slimline "resin sockets" secured with "Grap-lock" - a special resin mix developed exclusively for Brunton Shaw by Millfield Enterprises (manufacturers of Wirelock*) for use with cable laid grapnel ropes.
