The evolution of a single cable rope has witnessed humanity's magnificent journey from "seeking the sea's path" to "mastering the sea as a route." What seems like an ordinary rope has become a true "Popeye the Sailor" under the boost of the materials revolution.
In 405 AD, Zheng He's fleet used ramie ropes to secure the treasure ships, embarking on a legendary voyage.
620 years later, COSCO Shipping's 10,000-ton giant ships rely on ultra-high molecular weight material ropes to remain as steady as Mount Tai when docking.
The evolution of a single rope has witnessed humanity's magnificent journey from "seeking routes by sea" to "mastering the sea as a path."
What seems like an ordinary rope has become a true "Popeye the Sailor" under the revolution of materials.
Today, let's unlock the extraordinary "binding power" beneath its "delicate" appearance.
Polyethylene rope
Known as the champion of invisible strength.
Compared to steel cables of the same diameter, its strength is comparable, but it is lightweight, weighing only 1/8 of steel cables.
At the same time, it excels in wear resistance, corrosion resistance, UV protection, and acid-base resistance.
During dock operations, it can firmly hold giant ships, earning the reputation as the "reliable bodyguard" for safe ship operations.
It allows giant ships like the "Yuan Zhenhu" and "Yuan Cuihu" to dock calmly even in the face of wind and waves.

High load-bearing capacity: specially designed and processed to have high tensile strength and resistance to stretching, capable of withstanding ship towing under harsh weather conditions such as strong winds and heavy waves.
Marine ropes continuously adopt new materials and new technologies

The length of the cable must meet the operational requirements of the vessel during mooring, towing, emergency situations, etc., while also allowing for a buffer margin to prevent breakage due to being too short or operational difficulties caused by being too long.
