The project is to deliver custom built Plasma HMPE rope for towing monopoles to DONG Energy\u2019s Anholt Offshore Wind Farm, which will be Denmark\u2019s largest offshore wind farm with 111 wind turbines. Construction is currently taking place between Djursland and the island of Anholt in the Kattegat, due to be completed in 2013.<\/p>\n
Monopiles are towed into place using Cortland\u2019s 44mm diameter Plasma rope, which is connected to the towing beam and wrapped around the trunnion at its half waypoint before being looped back. The automatic release system allows the tug to easily disconnect from the monopiles.<\/p>\n
Cortland\u2019s Plasma rope has built a loyal following in the tug\/salvage and offshore worlds. Many modern tractor tugs, especially those with render-recovery winches, consider Plasma rope as a stable necessary towline or pennant for safe and efficient operations. With the addition of its large Herzog 2000 braider in its Anacortes, Washington USA mill, Cortland can now build twelve strand braided ropes up to 200mm diameter. For large horsepower tugs, OSVs and offshore vessels, the lightweight, high strength, low stretch and durability of large diameter Plasma ropes in long lengths is highly desirable.<\/p>\n
Cortland provides accurate performance data necessary for complex marine projects, including product linear density, elongation, outside diameter, compaction rates, and breaking strengths. Cortland\u2019s ability to offer factory authorized fabricated splice terminations in key global locations including the US, Singapore, Australia, Europe and the Middle East, also provides a key benefit.<\/p>\n
Rob Arends, Cortland\u2019s European sales manager said. \u201cPlasma 12×12 rope was chosen for its balanced construction and firm shape. While fitted in to the specially developed connector our Plasma rope behavior matched the requirement perfectly and needed no protection whatsoever\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
