The ship anchor can be tied with iron chain and steel wire rope. The disadvantage of steel wire rope is that repeated bending will cause metal fatigue, easy to break wire, resulting in wire rope scrap. However, some offshore installations that require accurate positioning still use stee wire rope towed anchors such as mooring positioning semi-submersible RIGS, which typically have eight anchors, are towed by steel wire ropes. Wire ropes are also often used for positioning anchors on engineering ships. HI-SEA can provide a full range of large diameter marine mooring positioning steel wire rope, our rope strand structure is very tough, can withstand the repeated use of offshore or offshore drilling vessels and other equipment.
