Locations

The most modern factories in the world dedicated to production of ropes for the o� shore industry:

Portugal

The Lankhorst Ropes site of 6,000 m2 is located in Viana do Castelo, Portugal and became operational in September 2012. It is the most modern factory worldwide dedicated to the production of ropes for the o� shore industry. Positioned near the port of Viana do Castelo, the facility is well suited to produce heavy deepwater mooring ropes. The recent commissioning of a new reel take-up stand brings our capacity to handle single piece weights of up to 250 tonnes gross (rope and reel).

Brazil

The production facility of Lankhorst Euronete Brasil covers around 12,000m2 in an 18,000m2 property in the industrial site of Queimados in Rio de Janeiro with easy access to the ports of Rio de Janeiro and Sepetiba. The company started production of Deepwater Mooring ropes in 2012. Capacity has been doubled in 2015 with the addition of a complete new production line using state-of-the-art machinery.

Facilities

The factories are dedicated to the design, production and testing of o� shore mooring ropes and specialty products such as deep water installation ropes. Modern production and testing equipment permits all the following activities to be undertaken in-house:

• Conversion (twisting) of � at yarn into rope yarn• Stranding of rope yarns into strands• Braiding or twisting of strands into subropes• Application of soil ingress � lters• Production of braided jacket material (twisted yarn / cut resistant tape) • Closing (over braiding) of subropes into mooring ropes• Length Measurement System (LMS) under tension up to 30 tonnes• Length marking under tension in 75 m increments• Axial (anti-twist) line marking• Full scale proto-type testing - Break strength testing up to 1,200 tonnes - Tension-tension fatigue testing - Sti� ness and elongation testing - Simulation of installation and “What If” scenarios. - Cut resistant jacket testing - Linear density testing

Lankhorst Ropes has a dedicated rope test machine for loads up to 1,200 tonnes. It can also conduct tension-tension fatigue testing of ropes to any fatigue regime speci� ed by clients and certi� ed veri� cation authorities. The test facility can be used for proof loading and length veri� cation of slings up to 25m in accordance with various industry standards such as ABS and DNV rules.

Synthetic � ber tethers have a proven track in demanding o� shore applications such as riser and umbilical tethers and mooring mid-water arches.

The use of synthetic � ber tethers such as the LANKO®FORCE & GAMA98® Dyneema® has signi� cant performance advantages over chain and steel wire tethers. In addition to being lighter and with almost neutral buoyancy, synthetic � ber tethers o� er:

• Reduced cost of buoyancy elements• No corrosion • No fatigue issues• Easy system installation

Strength, weight and sti� nessLANKO®FORCE and GAMA98® Dyneema® ropes has the same (or lower) size of the conventional steel wire rope and the corresponding weight is 7 times lower. In water, it has with a negligible weight. The sti� ness is similar to steel wire.

FilterFilter elements are included between jacket and sub-rope cores. They are e� ective in � ltering out particles greater than 5 microns whilst allowing free � ooding of the rope.

CreepUnder constant loading, LANKO®FORCE and GAMA98® Dyneema® rope can show an irreversible deformation that will depend on the time, load and temperature. For 25 years and for normal water temperatures, the irreversible elongation (creep) is null.

FatigueThe fatigue life of synthetic ropes is typically quoted as being at least 80 decades superior to steel wire rope.

GAMA98® ROPE WITH DYNEEMA®

GAMA98® Rope made with Dyneema® is manufactured from high efficiency sub-ropes cores (strength member) laid parallel within an outer braided jacket (non-strength member). The sub-cores are high efficiency braided Dyneema® ropes. The external jacket is a 32-carrier twill polyester braid. This construction is torque balanced and is one of the strongest rope constructions currently available. The breaking load is the same whether the rope is wet or dry and considerably higher than nylon or polyester size for size. The characteristics of high strength, low weight, make this rope easy to handle with consequent reduction in operational costs. The polyester jacket confers to the rope an excellent resistance to abrasion. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
