Karat Maxi 8-strand

KARAT® MAXI has become standard terminology in high quality mooring applications. Very high strength/weight ratio allows substantial size reductions and ease in handling, as well as providing excellent overall economy. KARAT® MAXI ropes are made from the unique material EStalon™, UV resistant Polyester blend.
DNV Type Approval Certificate.

  • Highest strength of the conventional mooring ropes
  • No loss of strength when wet
  • Low weight - easy handling
  • Low elongation
  • Very low snap-back effect
  • Manufactured acc to ISO and OCIMF
  • Estalon™ is a polyester/polypropylene melt mixture
30 years after they were first released onto the marine rope market, Karat® Maxi ropes are still the benchmark against which mooring lines must be measured, having proved their reliability and durability time and time again.
