Lankhorst announces Lankoloop the world’s quickest towing and mooring connection Leading maritime ropes manufacturer, Lankhorst Ropes, announces Lankoloop, the world’s easiest and quickest towing and mooring connection. It uses a simple knot and eye connection to complete the connection in seconds. No shackle or other hardware is needed for the Lankoloop; feeding it through any smooth strongpoint will complete the connection. The Lankoloop pennant is made from a twelve-strand HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene) rope. It has an unmatched weight-to-strength ratio. Compared to a steel wire sling of the same length and capacity, it will match the breaking strength at only 15% of the weight. Typically, a 44mm Lankoloop will have a breaking strength of 143,1Mt MBF.
