Advantages
Safety First!
Ropes made with Dyneema®, are proving a safe and secure alternative to steel wire rope for connecting barges and vessels in “push combinations” working on inland waterways.

The ropes float on water and do not damage deck equipment, considerably reducing the need for repairs and paint jobs.
Lighter weight and area occupied deck space!
A rope made with Dyneema® is as strong as a wire rope, with the same diameter but only about 10% of the weight per meter.
