Introduction of Anti-Snap Back mooring ropes to Managed vessels

We have been introducing anti-snap back mooring ropes to our managed vessels since January 2024. This mooring rope was developed by Tokyo Seiko Rope MFG. Co., Ltd., which has a close relationship with Nippon Steel Group, in response to our company's safety requirements for mooring operations. Production of this ropes have begun in 2023 and has received type approval from Nippon Kaiji Kyokai ( ClassNK ).

This mooring rope has a highly elastic nylon core inside the strong base of the mooring rope made of chemical fiber. Even if a break occurs, the core remains and is designed to quietly come out without swinging around. This will also help prevent accidents for crew members when the mooring rope breaks.

We will continue to make efforts to ensure the safety of crew members and the prevention of disasters by installing this technology on managed and owned vessels.
