Steel wire ropes are consumables which may be discarded when worn out.

Steel wire ropes are used in mooring, towing and lifting systems.

Steel wire rope can be applied in tugboats area.

A tug (tugboat) is a boat or ship that maneuvers vessels by pushing or towing them.

Tugs move vessels that either should not move by themselves, such as ships in a crowded

harbor or a narrow canal, or those that could not move by themselves, such as barges, disabled ships, log rafts, or oil platforms.

Specifications of Steel Wire Rope:

Wire rope is made of plaiting strands of wire – normally medium carbon steel – into a thick cable. 

The strands are formed around a core. The strands in wire ropes are made of wore twisted together. 

Strands with smaller diameter wires are less abrasion resistant and more fatigue resistant. 

Strands made with thicker length of wore are more abrasion resistant and less fatigue resistant.

1) Size : From 3mm to 80mm

2) Material of Steel Wire Rope : Galvanized and ungalvanized or stainless steel, etc.

3) Core : IWRC, FC and WSC

4) Tensile Strength : 1960 N/mm² (EIPS) and 2160 N/mm² (EEIPS)

Tugboats are powerful for their size and strongly built, and some are ocean-going.

Some tugboats serve as icebreakers or salvage boats.

Early tugboats had steam engines, but today most have diesel engines.

Many tugboats have firefighting monitors, allowing them to assist in firefighting, especially in harbors.
