POWERNEEMA®
POWERNEEMA® is an 8- and 12-strand HMPE mooring rope designed for primary ship mooring applications where high strength, low line weight, low elongation, and efficient handling are required.
With a density of approximately 0.97 g/cm³, POWERNEEMA® floats in water while providing a very high strength-to-weight ratio. Compared with conventional steel wire, HMPE can significantly reduce line weight while maintaining the tensile capacity required for demanding vessel mooring operations.
POWERNEEMA® can be engineered to suit different vessel types, required LDBF, mooring arrangements, winch and deck equipment, abrasion exposure, deployment lengths, and operating profiles.

Which General-Purpose Mooring Rope Should You Choose?
| Product | Material | Buoyancy | Key Characteristic | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| POWERNEEMA® | HMPE | Floating | Very high strength, very low elongation, lightweight | High-load mooring where minimum line weight and low stretch are priorities |
| POWER-MIXED™ | Polyester / Polyolefin Blend | Configuration-dependent | Balanced and configurable performance | Mooring systems requiring a balance of strength, elongation, weight, abrasion resistance and buoyancy |
| POWERDAN™ | PP/PE Polyolefin | Floating | Lightweight, flexible and practical handling | General-purpose vessel mooring where buoyancy and easy handling are important |
| POWERMONO™ | PP Monofilament | Floating | Firm handling and stable wet-service performance | General mooring where a firmer, lightweight floating PP rope is preferred |
| POWERMULTI™ | PP Multifilament | Floating | Soft, flexible and easy to handle | General mooring where rope softness and flexibility are priorities |
| POWERNYLON™ | Nylon | Sinking | High elasticity and energy absorption | Dynamic mooring, exposed berths, swell- and surge-prone conditions |
| POWER-WINCHLINE™ | Nylon Monofilament | Sinking | Elasticity with improved winch-handling stability | Winch-handled mooring and automatic-tension mooring winch applications |
