Amsteel Blue
AmSteel®-Blue is a proven cost-saving replacement for wire rope in key applications where strength,
weight and safety are important.
Recognized worldwide as the standard for single braid HMPE ropes, AmSteel®-Blue is easily spliced and
inspected. These features, with the superior wear and tension fatigue of Dyneema ® SK-75 fiber and Samthane
coating, are combined in a torque-free 12-strand single braid design. The result is an industry leading braided
synthetic rope that outlasts wire rope and has proven operator cost saving benefits.
AmSteel®-Blue, at only 1/7th the weight of wire, requires less committed crew for most operations, significantly
reduces mooring times and tug costs, and improves crew safety. The reduced weight, high strength and stretch also make
it ideal for tug assist/maneuvering lines, resulting in quick, efficient connections and controlled response. AmSteel®-Blue
is proven to provide longer service life and reduced costs when compared to wire in a variety of different situations.
Standardized working pendants are available for mooring and tug assist lines. AmSteel®-Blue is recommended for split drum
winch applications, not recommended for use on H-bitts, capstans or cleats if surging or rendering the rope is required.
