Offshore Synthetic Ropes
Samson high-performance synthetics meet the newest demands of the offshore industry
Deepwater exploration and operation have become commonplace in today’s offshore industry. Samson high performance synthetics provide the enabling technology that make reaching these new depths a reality. At 1/7th the weight of similar strength wire, these products keep deck loads low, reduce strain on winches, provide easier handling and a margin of safety that is unrivalled by traditional technologies. Lightweight ropes require fewer crew for handling and significantly reduce the time required for most operations.
Deepwater lowering and lifting lines, mooring tethers, anchor retrieval lines, riser winch lines, lifting slings, tow lines and bridles all benefit from technology engineered by Samson to meet the needs of this demanding industry. And with production and engineering staff strategically located near the Gulf of Mexico, we provide service that is second to none.
Critical applications depend on superior engineering
With the most advanced R&D department in the business, our product line is positioned to lead the way in reaching the needs of the offshore industry. But there are always problems best solved by product designed on a project-by-project basis. Our staff of application and sales engineers works directly with customers to meet those needs with products designed, manufactured, and tested to solve critical offshore problems. Samson engineers developed custom solutions for riser installation in the largest riser tower yet installed (the Enfield riser tower in Australia), and are engineering riser hold back tethers for sub-sea installations.
But it’s not just the custom applications that get Samson engineers on-site
They’re on hand for installations and crew training in maintenance, splicing and inspection procedures. Samson’s professionals provide on-site inspections and lab testing to update and assess retirement criteria to ensure the longest service life and safety of all our products. It’s all part of The Samson Advantage —the most complete package of technology, experience, state-of-the-art manufacturing, and customer service in the business.
