Nylacast Chock Liner
Patented low-friction polymer liner for chocks and Panama fairleads that reduces fibre mooring rope wear and helps achieve OCIMF MEG4 compliance.
Description
The Nylacast Chock Liner is a patented low-friction technology for safe and reliable vessel moorings, helping to achieve OCIMF MEG4 compliance. Its custom-formulated engineered polymer is very low friction, lightweight and corrosion resistant, and accommodates HMPE rope, lowering the risk of abrasion and wear in contact with the chock or Panama fairlead. It may also be used with some other polymer fibre ropes, depending on type and construction.
Key features
- Patented coupling: no hot works or dry docking needed; installation kit supplied
- Significantly reduced rope wear; no chafe protection jackets needed, so crew need not be near tensioned lines
- Self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant material with no painting or coating
- Smooth surface gives better equalisation of mooring loads, especially in high swell
- Available in ATEX-approved materials
Applications
Specified for new vessels and as a retrofit replacing Panama fairleads and roller fairleads. Vessels using it include LNG Benue, Shell Prelude, BP British Ruby, Stena Precision, Golar Hilli and RFA Argus.
