Our experience from different business areas enables us to come up with realistic and cost efficient solutions for new technology within the maritime industry. We think outside the box.

In the arctic both small and large drifting icebergs represent a challenge

- ICEBERGTM simply tows the problem away from the safe zone.

Our nets are made of a custom made headline with fl otation line and dyneema fi bre ropes. This secures a durable construction for safe and steady towing operations in the harsh weather conditions in the arctic. The ropes are also dyneema with an ICEBERGTM cover to prevent damages.

All ICEBERGTM systems are made with focus on HSE and safe operations. Using fi bre ropes also contributes to safe deck operations. In additon the ICEBERGTM cover increase crew-safety by minimizing the risk of snap-back. Both the fi bre rope and cover are low on weight securing easy handling and smooth operations for man and vessel.

For towing small icebergs ICEBERGTM Towing Net does the job perfectly. For handling larger icebergs our ICEBERGTM Towing Rope secures the job safely.

ICEBERGTM towing ropes are delivered with over 200 tonnes breaking strength. Nothing is stronger than its weakest link - we offer to enhance possible weak parts of the rope to prevent damages, and calculate adjusted breaking strength for the actual operations.

80, 225, 400 metres and custom made We have customized our ropes and nets to 80, 225 and 400 metres. This ensures a cost effi cient product. In addition we also offer custom made ropes and nets in any size to fi t your needs.
