SCANROPE MARINE AS
A proud reputation built over 210 years

Since 1796 and throughout its more than 210 years of business, ScanRope has
played an active part in the development of Norwegian industry. ScanRope was
established to supply ropes for maritime activities.

The company, however, has continually adapted to the modern world, applying
the latest techniques and pioneering new processes and products.

ScanRope Marine AS was established January 1st 2004 to concentrate shipping

related activities into a separate company. The KARAT ropes are produced
at the ultra-modern manufacturing facility of Eurorope Performance Rope
Producer in Thiva, Greece.

Our objectives are, of course, to become a better supplier of shipping ropes and
related services than ever.

IDENTIFICATION

ScanRope Marine has implemented ID marking on all KARAT®

fibre rope products, both mooring ropes and tails.

Each mooring rope or tail has a stainless ID-tag with an individual

four or five digit number. This number is also endorsed on the
corresponding individual certificate.

The ID-tag is located in the splice of the mooring rope or tail

(one ID-tag per eye splice).

With the ScanRope Marine ID-marking, keeping record of rope

performance and age will be an easy task.

The ID number on the stainless tag corresponds to the last four Certificate No. 100434-01-2004-1802
or five digits of the certificate number.

KARAT® MAXI TAILS

8-STRAND

ScanRope Marine supplies a wide range of
KARAT® MAXI mooring tails to suit
different dimensions steel wire mooring ropes.
We can offer both single leg TAILS and double
leg endless RINGTAILS.
Mooring tails are typically supplied in lengths
of 11 m with 2,0 m and 1,0 m covered eyes.
Studies performed by OCIMF have indicated tail
lengths of 22 m for exposed berths.
Because synthetic ropes are likely to deteriorate
more rapidly than wire ropes, tails should be
at least 25% stronger than the steel wire ropes
to which they are attached (NOTE: +37% for
Nylon).
The mooring tails should be inspected frequently
and replaced at regular intervals.
(18 months as per OCIMF recommendations)
