Marine rope and rigging supply — Gemlik

High-windage vessels and mooring load

Car carriers and loaded container ships present a very large side area to the wind, and Gemlik Bay can see strong gusts. That matters for rope selection: the mooring pattern has to hold against a wind load that changes quickly, which favours low-elongation lines that share load evenly across the pattern rather than lines that stretch and let one line take the whole force.

The practical consequence is that a mixed inventory — some old lines, some new, some different fibre — is worse than a consistent set, because unequal stiffness means unequal load sharing. When we quote a replacement we ask what is already on board for exactly this reason.

Lashing and cargo securing

Gemlik's ro-ro and project cargo traffic generates steady demand for cargo securing rather than mooring alone. Lashing chain, tensioners, webbing, ratchet straps and securing hardware are quoted against the cargo securing manual and the class requirements, not as generic hardware.

• Lashing chain and load binders
• Webbing slings, ratchet straps and tensioners
• Shackles, hooks and turnbuckles in matched working load limits
• Wire rope slings with certified terminations

Ordering for a Gemlik call

Because calls are short, we prefer to have the specification confirmed before the vessel arrives and to deliver against a fixed berth window. Send the specification, the ETA and the agent, and we confirm the delivery slot rather than promising an open-ended 'on arrival'.
