SPM (Single Point Mooring) The NWBS and energy absorption performance of hawsers can deteriorate due to certain influences and factors such as service life, cyclic load history, hawser type, construction, environmental conditions, and handling between use. Since the construction and type of material used to construct an SPM rope varies from location to location and the operational procedures will constantly change, DSR produces our NY Double BD from Polyamide Nylon 66. Nylon 66 has the highest energy absorption performance as compared to other synthetic fibers such as polyester, polyethylene and polypropylene. In addition, Nylon 66 exhibits better yarn-on-yarn abrasion performance. Using DSR’s NY Double B/D, you can expect superior service life in all marine applications including SPM Hawsers. Consider the two tables below for Single Leg style SPMs. The table on the top is for Single Point Mooring Hawsers provided in Double Braid Nylon Construction. The table on the bottom is for Single Point Mooring Hawsers provided in 12-Strand Plaited Nylon Construction. Both ropes have an inner core of Nylon 66 fiber and an outer braided cover of Nylon 6 fiber.
