Towage & Salvage [Phase 2]

Towing, escort, and salvage rope systems for harbour tugs, ocean-going tugs, and salvage operations.

Overview

Towing, escort, and salvage rope systems for harbour tugs, ocean-going tugs, and salvage operations. Tow ropes must absorb shock loads, resist abrasion, and float for safe recovery.

WireCo provides purpose-engineered products for this application, backed by global manufacturing and technical support from engineers who understand the operational demands.

Key Challenges in Towage & Salvage

The problems WireCo products are engineered to solve.

Shock Load Absorption
Towing generates severe dynamic loads as vessels surge against the tow line.
Snap-Back Risk
Parted tow lines under tension create lethal snap-back zones on deck.
Abrasion at Fairleads
Constant movement over chocks and fairleads wears rope at contact points.
Recovery at Sea
Floating ropes are critical for safe recovery after a tow line is cast off.
