What are the types of mooring ropes?

Mooring ropes come in several types, including natural fiber ropes (like sisal and manila), synthetic fiber ropes (such as nylon, polypropylene, and polyester), and wire ropes. Natural fiber ropes are biodegradable but less durable, while synthetic ropes offer greater strength, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors. Wire ropes, typically made from steel, are used for heavy-duty applications due to their high tensile strength. Each type is chosen based on the specific requirements of the mooring situation, including load capacity and environmental conditions.
