ODIM has solved the challenges of handling lightweight fibre rope with its patented ODIM CTCU™ technology. This provides new and more efficient handling solutions for such operations as deepwater installation and mooring. It also makes it possible to use fibre rope in place of steel wire, which offers major benefits in weight terms by permitting the use of smaller and cheaper vessels. Dramatic weight reductions provide a number of advantages which have a direct impact on development costs in ultradeep waters. The ODIM CTCU™ technology has properties which can be utilised in even less developed markets. |
