ICARIA® Service Program

Line Management Made Simple. Samson created ICARIA as a technology and service solution to solve operational challenges associated with line usage and condition tracking. Our integrated technology maximizes line life, reduces operational risk, streamlines communications, and improves crew training and safety.

With options for rope testing and analysis, ICARIA provides vessels with a handy line management plan that complies with mooring equipment guidelines (MEG4), TMSA, and upcoming amendments to SOLAS regulations on mooring systems management and ongoing analysis.

Training and Certification

Samson has developed training and competency management programs designed to share our expertise. Ultimately, a competent team will facilitate the safe use and maintenance of rope products, thus decreasing risk during operation. Both on-site and online training programs with courses ranging from rope splicing techniques, proper installation procedures, and safe line handling and use are available.
