How often do you service your mooring ?
A mooring should be serviced every 12 months.
We are mooring contractors in Sydney harbour,
We only use Australian made materials, we can use cheap Chinese chain & swivels, you guys would never know, but for our own piece of mind (and our insurance company) we don't ! we could buy Chinese equipment chains etc for less than 1/2 the price.
our swivels are made by a Aussie guy who is 83 years old in Mona Vale, we could buy a "knock off" of his swivels for 1/3 the price , but we don't !
our ropes are the best you can buy UV stabilised, We heat shrink our spliced ropes , but again you will never see this, we do this because spliced ropes can unlay under water (very rarely), with heat shrink they never do !
We have seen some shocking mooring done by who knows who !
we don't compromise on quality, but if you want to , we are there to help you, as we offer a very efficient salvage service for sunken vessels.
New rules coming in 2018 all mooring need service, like a pink slip on a car.
