Fibre ropes often cannot be reliably designed to meet a specific strength specification without verification by testing. Unless changes from a known design are relatively small, knowledge of just the fibre properties may not be enough to accurately predict the strength of a new product.
This document specifies the general characteristics of fibre ropes and their constituent materials. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the standards for the individual types of fibre rope, which cover the physical properties and specific requirements for that particular product type.
These Guidance Notes supersede the ABS Guidance Notes on the Application of Synthetic Ropes for Offshore Mooring, 1999. The main purpose of these new Guidance Notes is to reflect the latest technology developments and industry practice for applications of fiber ropes in offshore mooring systems.

This paper starts with a brief overview of current fibre rope use in offshore applications. It is widely accepted that within a mooring line there are three line tension components(1). These are: $ Static component due to mean environmental load. $ Slow varying component due to platform second order motion.

Feb 22, 2018 · Design and Specification: Fibre ropes often cannot be reliably designed to meet a specific strength specification without verification by testing. Unless changes from a known design are relatively small, knowledge of just the fibre properties may not be enough to accurately predict the strength of a new product.
Compared to existing mooring components, synthetic ropes have particular advantages, including low cost and mass (per unit length) and load-extension properties that can be harnessed to reduce peak loadings [1]. Their adoption is also driven by examples of fatigue failure and wear of steel components [2].
Apr 15, 2024 · Unlike rigid FRP cables used in bridge, flexible FRP ropes can effectively meet these bending requirements while maintaining high strength retention. Thirdly, FPR ropes also possess other outstanding properties such as high tensile strength, fatigue and creep resistance, and high creep rupture stress.
