PENDANT EMERGENCY TOW-OFF, VULCAN WITH FURTHER DETAILS

Description

Emergency tow-off pendants (ETOPs), commonly referred to as “fire wires,” provide a means of towing the ship away from the dock in the event of a fire. Samson developed Vulcan, a synthetic alternative to traditional wire rope fire wires. Vulcan is significantly lighter and eliminates “fish hooks,” which are broken wires that protrude from the wire rope and result in hand injuries. Maintenance costs are also reduced when using synthetic ropes compared to wire ropes. Vulcan is made with aramid fiber and has a proprietary fire-resistant coating that meets the OCIMF-required breaking strength after exposure to flames and a high-temperature environment. Features and Benefits;  60 to 70% (2/3rd) lighter than wire  Abrasion resistant  Easily stored when not in use  Easy to adjust  Heat and flame resistant  Lightweight  No lubrication necessary  Reduced mooring–related injuries and claims  Specific Gravity: 1.39
