I wish they had made the slow motion clips a bit longer or slowed them down more, it's kind of tough to see the comparisons or how the SBA works when you only see them for two seconds at a time
Those who design or manufacture such equipment have never worked in a ship themselves, the couplings are always leaking and can never be ordered from another port because it will never match, the hoses involved will tear only after one heavy industrial use, the chemicals' labels go away since they are made of paper and now we don't know which chemical is which, that welden pump will never be dedicated for hold cleaning, it will be kept in SOPEP because the SOPEP pump broke and the company won't send a new one. During hold cleaning everything is always makeshift leaks are covered with wrapped rags, torn hoses are wrapped with aluminum plate bound by copper wire etc Make something sturdy man
Absolutely brilliant 👏 finally we are doing something about this. I felt exactly the same when working on ships. So I invented the GroundGrab. Hopefully these big steps will make a difference 🙏
As a maritime officer (and yes, I handle the ropes as well) mooring has always had my highest respect due to risk af accidents of many different kinds. Lets hope the companies are willing to pay for the extra safety.
This is so nice and simple. At the minimum, it seems should at least direct any snap back that does occur to a smaller and more predictable danger zone.

I wish Your Good Company could give the quatation to Anglo Eastern for providing a full set of Your ropes to the Capesize fleet vessels. It would safe lives, cost minimise and efficiency. Hope one day You could reach the agreement. Great Job.
What exactly is the update on this technology? I am interested in becoming an OS, but was informed I would be working the Mooring lines, and after coming across this snap-back phenomena, I am hesitant to go forward. Is anyone using this tech yet?
As former deckhand of two and half years, I was fortunate to have never experienced a rope snapping back. No doubt this was my biggest fear when mooring a vessel.
very cool technology! The drawback is probably that ropes will snap more easily since the center piece of the rope is not participating in the maximum strain anymore?
