. | Lankhorst-Ropes for Statoil's Aasta Hansteen |
Lankhorst claims this is the largest-ever single order for deepwater mooring ropes, and possibly the largest for synthetic fiber rope. The spar, featuring a 198-m (650-ft) long hull, will be in 1,300 m (4,265 ft) of water, 300 km (186 mi) west of Bodø, mid-Norway. It will be connected to 17 polyester mooring lines in groups of six, five, and six lines. Lankhorst will supply 36 rope lengths (more than 43,000 m/141,076 ft, or ~27 mi in total) of its Gama 98 polyester deepwater mooring rope with minimum breaking strength of 1,905 tons (4200 kips).
A cut-resistant jacket, based on Dyneema fiber, which is integral with the
rope construction, has been designed to minimize potential damage from
trawl wire impact.
