Mooring Tails or mooring pendants are special-length ropes that introduce elasticity in a high Modulus (low stretch) mooring & towing line, providing safer operations.Their primary use is to give elasticity in a low stretch line (High Modulus Synthetic Rope or Wire Rope) which reduces the peak loads and extends the service life. This way, small vessel movements (i.e. caused by swell or even waves) areabsorbed by the mooring tail’s elongation and do no subject the main line in high loads.
