HMPE Mooring Pendant
An ultra-high-strength, ultra-low-elongation, highly abrasion-resistant, and lightweight marine mooring solution, providing the highest level of safety for mooring in harsh environments.
HMPE Mooring Pendant
Duracordix HMPE Mooring Pendant is a type of rope made from High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMPE) fibers. It is an essential part of the mooring system, used to securely connect the vessel to a mooring buoy, ensuring the boat or ship’s stability. Typically, the length of the pendant is relatively short. To enhance abrasion resistance, it is often equipped with a protective cover or utilizes a double-braided construction for improved durability and wear resistance.
- High Strength
- Great UV and chemical resistence
Polyurethane coating for better abrasion resistance.

FAQs
Answers to Your HMPE mooring pendant Questions – Get Informed!
What is Mooring Pendant?
Duracordix HMPE mooring pendant lines are high-performance ropes made from high-quality fibers, designed to securely connect a vessel's bow to a mooring buoy. As a critical component of the mooring system, they effectively secure the vessel and withstand the forces of wind, waves, and tides.
Traditionally, nylon mooring pendant have been widely used due to their high elasticity. However, in recent years, due to the demand for higher tensile strength and greater durability, HMPE mooring pendant have become the preferred choice for an increasing number of boat owners.
What size of mooring pendant do I need?
Duracordix recommends that you choose a mooring pendant length that is 2.5 times the height of the bow above the waterline. For example, if the bow height is 10 feet, your mooring pendant length should be 25 feet. Duracordix can provide mooring pendants of different lengths to meet your specific needs.
Regarding the breaking strength of pendant line, it is usually determined based on the displacement of the vessel. Generally, the minimum breaking strength of the mooring pendant should be 3 to 5 times the vessel's displacement. For example, if the vessel's displacement is 20 tons, the required breaking strength of the mooring ropes should be between 60 and 100 tons.
Does your HMPE mooring pendant float?
Yes, our HMPE mooring pendants are made from 12 strands of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), with a density of 0.97, which is lower than the density of water, so it floats on the surface. Additionally, we can manufacture them in bright colors such as blue, red, and yellow, making them easy to spot on the water.
Do you offer custom-made mooring pendant?
Yes, Duracordix can provide customized services to meet your needs. We can offer you mooring pendants in different diameters and lengths, various colors, and can also customize sizes of splicing eyes, abrasion-resistant protective sleeves. we can also provide the attachment or hardware you may need with it.
why do you need double bridle mooring pendant?
Due to having two connection points, double bridle mooring pendant can more effectively distribute weight and impact forces, making them more stable than single mooring slings. Double mooring pendants provide better lateral support and stability, making the mooring system safer. Even if one pendant line fails, the other can continue to provide support, thus ensuring the safety of the vessel. Furthermore, double mooring pendants are better able to maintain the vessel's stability in extreme conditions.
