Why WireCo

Engineered for the Forces of Ocean and Industry

A mooring system isn't just a rope — it's the engineered connection between a billion-dollar asset and the forces of wind, current, and wave. When an FPSO holds station in 2,000 meters of water, the mooring lines are the single point of trust.

Through Lankhorst Ropes and Oliveira, WireCo delivers mooring systems certified to DNV, Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's, and ABS requirements — backed by global manufacturing, engineering support, and decades of deepwater experience.
