Spectranika-Siri S-12 Ropes

Characteristics

NIKA-Siri® S-12 ropes are 12 strand High Modulus / High Performance ropes with excellent properties, ideal for the heavy shipping industry. They are manufactured using the highest quality UHMWPE fibers. NIKA-Siri® S-12 ropes are 8 times stronger than steel ropes and 3 times stronger than polyester (on a weight by weight comparison).

Application

MOORING / TOW LINES / STS OPERATIONS (to be used with synthetic tails) / ANCHORING
The application of NikaThane-S coating and the heat-setting process improve drastically the structural stability and the strength efficiency of the rope while increasing the rope’s coefficient of friction for better gripping performance when used in winches, capstans, chocks, bitts etc. When compared to wire ropes, NIKA-Siri® S-12 ropes are stronger (for the same weight) lighter (making it easy and fast to handle, safer to use and cost-saving (minimum maintenance needs, no greases, faster operating times).
NIKA-Siri® S-12 ropes are produced according to ISO 10325-2009 and they comply with OCIMF’s latest regulations & recommendations for the safe mooring of the tanker-LNG-LPG vessels.

Benefits

Most cost-effective ropes to purchase due to lower labor requirements in operations and decreased mooring & towing operating times.
Safer and easier to use due to their high strength and low weight.
2-3 times longer service life
Negligible maintenance costs.
