Rope Drums – Marine Mooring & Towing Line Storage Systems
At Veta Gemi A.Ş., we manufacture high-performance Rope Drums engineered for the safe, organized, and efficient handling of mooring and towing lines aboard vessels.
As part of our marine equipment and ship equipment product line, our rope drums are designed to maximize deck space, enhance operational safety, and provide durable, long-term performance in the most demanding marine environments.
Manufactured from high-strength steel, our rope drums combine robust construction, ergonomic design, and precision balancing, ensuring reliable performance for both newbuild and retrofit marine projects.
Marine Rope Drum Applications
Rope drums play a crucial role in mooring, towing, and anchor handling systems, enabling crews to efficiently store, deploy, and retrieve heavy-duty ropes or cables under varying sea conditions.
Veta Gemi’s rope drums are specifically engineered for:
Ship mooring and anchoring operations
Tugboat towing and winching systems
Offshore platform support vessels
Cargo handling and deck machinery integration
Each unit is produced to international marine standards, offering smooth rope operation with minimal wear and optimal control.
Key Features and Technical Advantages
Compact and space-saving design for maximum deck utilization.
Fabricated from high-strength carbon or stainless steel for heavy-duty operations.
Smooth drum surface ensures reduced rope friction and longer rope lifespan.
Reinforced shaft and bearing assemblies for high-load endurance.
Custom drum diameter and groove depth to match rope type and vessel class.
Corrosion-resistant coatings suitable for saline marine environments.
Manual or powered configurations available for mechanical or hydraulic systems.
All rope drums undergo load testing, surface inspection, and dynamic balance verification before dispatch.
Engineering and Fabrication Standards
Each Rope Drum is manufactured in compliance with:
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems
EN 1090 Steel Fabrication Standards
DNV, BV, and ABS Class Requirements
IMO and SOLAS safety guidelines
Our in-house engineering team ensures every drum meets precise load ratings, alignment tolerances, and operational safety margins demanded by the maritime industry.
Custom Manufacturing Options
We provide tailored rope drum configurations based on:
Rope material (wire, synthetic, or hybrid)
Line diameter and capacity
Deck layout and foundation interface
Power system (electric, hydraulic, or manual)
Integration with existing winch or capstan systems
All design parameters are optimized using 3D CAD modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) to ensure mechanical reliability and smooth operation in real-world conditions.
