Acera™ ropes are more effective and reliable in swell conditions. We have not experienced any breakage, as opposed to other ships which were on the same pier/same day...it is like a “magnet” to pilots, mooring men and other ship officers as they can easily spot the difference between other common products.

Quality is in the detail.

Our Solutions

Conventional Ropes

Conventional ropes offer cost effective solutions. These floating, flexible and easily handled products have long been admired as premium mooring ropes.
Advanced Ropes

Advanced ropes offer well-balanced ropes with a compact construction. These ropes are suitable where the mooring system requires a more complex solution.
High Performance Ropes

Our aim is to change the market dynamics for high performance ropes. Acera™ genuine HMPE ropes are stronger than steel, with 1/7 of the weight – and 1/3 of a same strength polyester rope weight.
Stretchers

Mooring tails are used to protect the mooring lines and to allow ships to sway and move with the environment. Our Mooring tails are typically used with steel wire and HMPE ropes, providing shock/energy absorbing within the mooring system.
Rope Protection

These high tenacity guards are suitable for all fibre rope types. Chafe guards can be easily installed and can provide an instant defensive barrier against sharp surfaces and edges. The Timm Chafe Guard is highly resistant to mineral acids, alkali, electrolytes, oxidising agents and remains stable in aqueous acids and non-polar solvents.
Accessories: Mooring Connection

This indispensable steel connection solution allows steel wire ropes or HMPE fibre ropes to work in tandem with fibre mooring tails. It is made from high quality stainless steel and is marked with MBL, SWL and serial number.
Onboard Ropes Inspection

We offer visual inspections of mooring ropes on board your vessel, providing inspection reports and recommendations for your mooring lines and arrangements.
