Applied Fiber is on the end of the line for the first Fiber Rope Crane Offshore developed by MacGregor. The termination is fully certified with approval of manufacturer under DNV. The system allows a smaller capacity crane and vessel to lift more and go deeper as the fiber rope is near weightless in the sea. The crane no longer has to account for massive weight of wire rope when going deep. Applied Fiber termination provides a sure and robust connection on the seafloor.
