Offshore wire rope re-socketing for anchor handling
Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels (AHTS), commonly known as anchor handlers, are used to deploy, recover and reposition anchors and mooring systems for offshore installations. These vessels operate with large-diameter wire ropes connected to anchors, chains and mooring equipment.
Our Anchor Pendant Socket range is commonly used for these applications. In this project, an APS No. 530 was installed on a 90 mm wire rope during maintenance work on board the AHTS Skandi Jupiter. The operation involved the inspection of the wire rope, removal of a worn rope section, adjustment of the rope length, and the installation of a new poured socket termination. After preparation of the rope end, the APS No. 530 socket was fitted and filled with resin to create a new permanent end connection.
