Mooring ropes: linkingculture and wealth

For over seven decades, CSL ropes have

followed the evolution of marine and

offshore industries worldwide. Cargo

freight and the remaining marine activities

found proven safety in the indispensable

products manufactured by Cordoaria São

Leopoldo.

Anchored in its tradition and experience

and driven by new technologies, CSL

walks towards the future, investing in the

continuous improvement of its production

line and new services in order to meet

the increasingly demanding world market.

BRASIL

Established in 1929, Cordoaria São Leopoldo has grown into

an internationally acknowledged manufacturer of nautic and naval

ropes as well as ropes for general purpose made out of high

quality synthetic fiber and proven safety.

Today, the CSL brand is present at the main ports worldwide,

offshore drilling and production rigs on the Brazilian coast and

abroad and also at the main crude oil monobuoys. The

entrepreneurial spirit and longstanding experience of the company

have qualified it to expand its activities to the other market niches

such as the manufacturing of fishing lines, yachting and other

sailing activities and mountain climbing which add up to quality

and safety at sea, in the air and on land.

The Presenceof The CSL Brand

A Track Record OfAchievements

Currently, CSL has manufacturing capacity of over 700

tons/month in its 14,000 square meter facilities in São Leopoldo.

Its very history and work processes have always been study

and research-driven to perfect and develop new and successful

projects. This permanent drive and dedication to work have led

to the approval and publication, in 1987, of the first technical

guidelines of the Brazilian Technical Standards Association

(ABNT) regarding naval ropes which were originated and inspired

by CSL projects. Fourteen years later, CSL authored the

reviewing process of these same standards applied nationwide.

All of this process is consistent with the quality policy enforced

and practiced by CSL since its inception.

The brand – present not only in practically all parts of the world

but also in ocean terminals and rigs operating on the coast of

Brazil, Western Africa, the North Sea, Mexico, India, the Persian

Gulf, the Far East and, above all, South America – is identified

as one of the major suppliers of ropes and hawsers.

CSL so much treasures and practices the principle that quality

and its ensuing guaranty are cost reducers and image enhancers

of the company that it elected as its motto the words “quality

that turns clients into friends”.

Performance specificationCSL 17MN machine main specifications are as follows:

• Maximum tensile strength 17 MN

• Fatigue tensile strength 12 MN

• Prototype rope length up to 17 m

• Stroke 2.5 m

State – Of - The – ArtTechnology, Art InManufacturingBesides general purpose mooring and anchoring

ropes, CSL also turns out accessories such as

floaters, spliced eyes, pear rings, thimbles and

shackles. Supported by state-of-the art equipment

technology and devoted to research, design and

production, engineers and technicians of the

company turn synthetic fibers into powerful ropes

creating true art out of their craftsmanship.

Control And TestingThe quality of CSL products is checked and verified

in each detail along the manufacturing process. All

fibers used in production are also submitted to

standardized quality tests. To assess the performance

of the ropes, the company carries out tests of

strength and fatigue that measure breaking load

and ascertain performance in dynamic conditions

in accordance with the strictest international

specifications. Accurate load capacity data are thus

obtained to assure totally safe applications.

Safety And Reliability

Research and development have determined the

success of CSL. In 2003, the company concluded

an update of its testing equipment to a capacity

of up to 1,700 ton/force. This machine, developed

in association with Petrobras, was especially

designed and built by CSL to test synthetic fiber

ropes and other products. It is a modern

equipment and has been recognized and ratified

by the major certifying institutes in the world. It

has a 120 ton steel structure and is hydraulically

driven through a system which enables it to

perform cyclic and breaking load tests complying

with the technical rules and specifications for

synthetic ropes. All of these initiatives aim to

supply the best products to the marketplace.

Besides the testing equipment mentioned above,

CSL uses dynamometers to test and improve its

line of products. They are smaller gear available

to the engineering department to qualify and

improve items ranging from raw materials from

our suppliers to finished CSL products.

Cordoaria São Leopoldo is internationally

recognized as a manufacturer of high quality

synthetic-fiber ropes in all its product lines. This

outstanding position was obtained along the

years, due to the great importance devoted to

R&D activities. Investments on production and

test equipment have determined the

company’s success.

I n 1998 , C S L

concluded the up-

g r a d i n g

capacity of its

t e s t i n g

equipment to

up to 1,500

tons. This test

machine developed in

partnership with Petrobras was especially

conceived and constructed by CSL to test

synthetic fiber ropes and other products, and

is the most modern test machine suitable for

these purposes in the world.

The machine has a 120-ton steel structure and

is hydraulically driven by a powerful system

allowing cycle, fatigue and rupture tests according

to synthetic rope technical standards and

holding system allowing the repositioning of the

prototype during the test, thus optimizing the

use of the total available stroke. The test machine

was duly gauged, certified and is recognized by

the main classifying institutions worldwide. This

equipment allows CSL to meet its customers

test requirements in a suitably fast

and reliable way and also to simulate

i n s t a l l a t i o n

procedures for

mooring lines and

most o f the

dif ferent real

working conditions

for synthetic fiber

ropes, using real-scale

prototypes. This has been very important

for offshore industries, joint tests with Petrobras,

following-up the performance of the ropes used

in Bacia de Campos, bringing an important

technological aggregate to the company. Thanks

to these test facilities, CSL managed to

permanently research and develop improvements

in its product line, offering to the market the

best test technology for synthetic fiber ropes

and consequently the best products.

CSL 17MN test machine

CSL grants the best identification and

traceability for offshore ropes. Tested and

approved, this high quality system offers a

perfect and lasting identification. With a

high level of confidence and security, it is

possible to identify all informations

concerning the product, through a steel

plate carefully fixed on the rope termination.

Traceability and Assurance

07

08

From 1993 on, Cordoaria São Leopoldo

intensified its researches on product development

for offshore applications. During this period, the

company signed many technological development

agreements to meet this new market.

In 1996, the new CSL UltraSeven Polyester Rope

for platform, monobuoys and deep-water FPSO

anchoring was born.

This product is manufactured with high quality

yarns and with special finishing for seawater

applications, reducing abrasion among fibers and

extending both its useful life and fatigue

resistance. The rope has parallely distributed

braided cores and a protective braided jacket.

This long pitch parallel braided core construction

provides an inherent balanced torque and leads

to mechanical features suitable to mooring

applications, such as high resilience modulus

and resistance. From a total 100% mass, about

80% correspond to the cores and 20%

to the jacket.

As a conservative criterion, the design premise

is that cores are responsible for 100% the rope

tensile strength capacity.

Product finishing operations include special

procedures and materials, improving resistance

to the abrasion caused by the contact with metallic

accessories or other components of the

anchoring system.

The excellent performance shown by UltraSeven

polyester ropes in offshore mooring and anchoring

motivated CSL to develop the design of these

ropes for other applications.

In 1998, CSL UltraSeven Nylon, UHMW-PE Ropes

(Ultra-High Molecular Weight-Polyethylene) and

UltraSeven Polysteel were developed. Following

the basic concept and design of the already

approved UltraSeven Ropes, UltraSeven Nylon

and UHMW-PE ropes, they feature high tenacity

(breaking load/linear mass) in their cores lined

by a braided jacket protecting against

external abrasion.

Development obtained from technological cooperation agreements among

Cordoaria São Leopoldo, suppliers and customers such as Petrobras has

led ULTRASEVEN POLYESTER ropes to an outstanding position worldwide.

Compared to the conventional systems, polyester rope anchoring technology

brings a series of technical, operation, handling and setting advantages

also providing an excellent cost-benefit ratio.

Double BraidedRopes

13

Cordoaria São Leopoldo produces 100% polyester and 100% Nylon

double braided ropes for oil tanker mooring and towing, as well as

other naval applications. Both have ±5% dimensional allowance and

may be customized with spliced eyes or special terminations.

One of the great advantages of CSL Double Braided Ropes is to avoid

distortions and even hockling. This is possible because of their

construction with parallel yarn filaments guiding all the core fibers

towards the rope axis. Thus, double braided ropes earn a longer useful

life, stability and controlled elongation, even under great stress. This

construction process provides additional resistance, low stretch also

reducing the fiber cutting action.

High resistance to abrasion is another factor granting a longer useful

life to this kind of rope, two or three times as high as the current

single braided ropes.

See other features of CSL Double Braided Ropes:

• When mooring under rough sea and strong wind, recoiling is reduced

because of the lower stretch provided by the core almost parallel strand

combination;

• Due to the possible variation of the core pitches, elongation under load

may be customized to each particular application;

• Non-rotating and twist free;

• It does not kink or tear down in any application;

• Excellent tightness and maximum contact surface in capstans, winches

and mooring heads, as its straight section fits completely to the round

section of the pulleys;

• Easily spliced, either when new or worn;

• Resistant to deterioration and immune to rottenness, mold or corrosion;

• Remains resilient when wet or dry;

• Unlimited length;

• Comfortably handled and free of fragments or burrs;

• Different construction combinations may be tailored to meet the most

sophisticated service conditions;

• Excellent shock absorption capacity;

• Retains high physical properties, even after a long time of cyclic stress.

CSL 12-Strand Single Braided Rope is manufactured in 1 by 1

formation having 6 left and 6 right hand strands. Its hexagonal braid

offers equilibrium and perfect rope balance, undergoing no distortions

or kinks at any kind of application.

This rope was developed to meet navigation, prospecting and ancillary

needs, as well as to meet the requirements of general consumers.

It is suitable for most of the naval operations, such as towing and

transportation in platforms, on-board operations, open sea mono-

buoy mooring, anchoring and other inumerable naval applications.

12-Strand CircularBraided Ropes

MOORING

It is quite common to see steel wire ropes tied to other synthetic

fiber ropes due to the shock absorption advantages provided by these

fibers. This is because metallic ropes offer poor resistance to sudden

tensions. In such cases, round ropes supply two main functions:

1.To offer high resistance;

2.To absorb the shock conveyed by the steel wire rope.

Synthetic fiber elongation and recovery provide repeated shock

absorption. Consequently, it is essential that the calculated breaking

load exceed that of the wire rope at least by 20%, especially when

considering the dangerous contracting effects caused by a synthetic

fiber rope breaking under load. Their length is critical, as it is necessary

to add enough length to absorb the total power developed. The ropes

are placed at the ship outer part, with great smooth hocklings

protected by a leather jacket or wrapped in plastic to avoid undue

abrasion at the head.

On the lead of research and development of new products, CSL is

pleased to highlight its excellent composite polypropylene and polyester

(PP+PES) rope. Made out of a combination of distinct raw materials

the main advantage of the composite rope lies in the harmonious

match of two different materials, which, combined in their architecture

present excellent resistance to repeated load, guarantee balance

under elongation, do not absorb water (easy handling) and provide

greater safety during risk operations.

The eficiency of this rope, upon comparison with other kinds of

mooring ropes, lies in its capacity to lessen the impact of the ricochets

(rebounds) caused by unpredicted installation problems or by breaking.
