Sizes: 40mm - 80mm
DynIce is similar to steel wire with regard to elasticity as both have very little stretch. In towing and some tugging operations there is need to dampen the peak loads due to vessel movements and waves.
For that purpose a section of nylon ropes is inserted in the towing line as nylon has the highest elasticity of the synthetic fibres used in maritime ropes.
ELASTIC NYLON ROPE FOR LIMITING PEEK LOAD IN TOWING OPERATIONS.
Typically the length is either 10 or 25 meters and then as singe leg or grommet depending on the breaking strength needed. According to DNV rules the breaking strength of nylon shock absorber needs to be 1,5 times the breaking strength of the main towing line.
There are two rope constructions available and that is conventional 8 strand rope and then double braided 32 strand rope.
