TEHO Ropes Europe took another step towards sustainability by installing 50 solar panels at our facility. This initiative supports our commitment to reducing environmental impact and lowering our dependency on non-renewable energy sources. The installation is expected to generate approximately 20,000 kWh of clean electricity per year — a meaningful contribution to our energy efficiency goals. Sustainability is a continuous focus at TEHO. In addition to solar energy, we encourage the use of electric vehicles with on-site charging points and are constantly working to reduce our overall energy footprint. By investing in renewable energy and greener infrastructure, we aim to support a cleaner future for the maritime industry.

TEHO Europe was recently selected by a valued client to supply HMPE mooring ropes and tails for a series of newbuild vessels. From quotation to delivery at the quayside, the entire process was completed in just a few weeks. This project is a clear example of how we combine speed, flexibility and quality to support maritime operations around the world. Our ability to respond quickly to customer needs while maintaining high standards of product performance and safety continues to be a core strength of our service.

TEHO Europe BV and VentOcean have entered a strategic partnership, appointing VentOcean as the exclusive representative of TEHO’s products in Türkiye!

At TEHO Ropes, quality and safety are at the core of what we do. This commitment extends beyond our own production processes into the broader maritime industry. Did you know that we are an active member of both the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)? As part of the ISO TC 38/WG 21 working group, we don’t just follow industry standards; we help shape them. By contributing our technical expertise and field knowledge, we ensure that standards remain practical, clear, and focused on enhancing safety at sea. This includes working with general rope standards such as NEN-EN-ISO 2307 and 9554, as well as rope-specific guidelines for synthetic ropes like HMPE rope NEN-EN-ISO 10325. By staying at the forefront of these developments, TEHO Ropes supports the continuous improvement of rope quality, performance, and safety in maritime operations worldwide. Standardization is more than compliance for us. It is about moving the maritime industry forward while prioritizing the safety of crews and vessels across the globe. Interested in how these standards impact your mooring operations? Contact us to learn how TEHO Ropes can help you meet and benefit from these international standards in your daily operations.

In the maritime industry, time is always a critical factor. So when a customer reached out with an urgent request for 16 new mooring wires, we were ready to respond without delay. While availability was not an issue, the wires required more than just off-the-shelf delivery. They needed to be cut to specific lengths, fitted with soft eyes, and carefully spooled onto reels. All of this had to be done within a tight timeframe and according to exact specifications. At TEHO Ropes Europe, this is where we thrive. Our team immediately got to work, applying the right mix of expertise, precision, and efficiency to ensure everything was delivered as required. The result was a full set of MEG4-certified mooring wires, prepared and delivered on time, much to the satisfaction of our client. This project is a great example of how we work. We’re not just suppliers; we’re partners in your operation. We think along with our customers, act quickly, and deliver tailored solutions that meet the highest industry standards. Whether it’s a scheduled order or a last-minute request, TEHO Ropes Europe is committed to providing dependable products, expert service, and a strong focus on safety and performance.

The selection and purchase of mooring ropes are often underestimated, yet they play a vital role in ensuring onboard safety. These ropes are not just simple equipment; they are essential for the stability and security of vessels during mooring operations. Overlooking this crucial step can result in increased safety risks, especially in the challenging and high-stakes maritime environment. Challenges in purchasing mooring ropes Since the introduction of MEG4 (Mooring Equipment Guidelines, 4th Edition), the industry has gained clear guidelines to enhance safety. However, challenges in the purchasing process still persist. Issues such as incorrect enquiries, requests for altered certificate values, or quotes lacking SDMBL (Ship Design Minimum Breaking Load) references are common. These oversights can have serious consequences. Ropes that do not meet the correct specifications can lead to failures during mooring operations, putting crew, cargo, and vessels at risk. Proper purchasing decisions are critical to ensuring compliance and maintaining operational safety. How TEHO Ropes Europe Supports Safe Rope Selection At TEHO Ropes Europe, we are committed to promoting informed decision-making during the purchasing process. By offering guidance aligned with MEG4 standards, we help shipowners, operators, and procurement teams navigate the technical complexities of selecting the right mooring ropes. Our [...]

Ensuring safety and performance At TEHO Ropes Europe, safety and performance are at the core of everything we do. Our Rigging teams regularly board vessels to perform thorough inspections of MEG4-compliant mooring ropes and deck equipment, ensuring that these critical components operate at their best. Why Are Inspections Important? Regular inspections are essential for maintaining the integrity and longevity of mooring ropes and equipment. Exposure to harsh marine environments, high loads, and everyday wear and tear can gradually degrade the performance of these assets. Through visual inspections, our experts identify potential issues early, helping clients avoid costly repairs or accidents. Optimizing Mooring Equipment with TEHO’s Expertise Our inspection services go beyond simply checking for wear and damage. We provide clients with a detailed report on the condition of their mooring ropes and equipment, along with tailored recommendations. This allows shipowners to: Optimize the performance of their mooring systems, Extend the service lifetime of their ropes, and Enhance safety onboard. By adhering to the latest industry standards, such as MEG4, we ensure that every aspect of our service aligns with modern maritime requirements, giving our clients the confidence to operate safely and efficiently. A Commitment to After-Sales Excellence TEHO Ropes Europe’s [...]

Mooring ropes are essential to the safety and stability of vessels during docking and mooring operations. However, over time, the performance of these ropes can degrade due to wear and tear, exposure to harsh environmental conditions, and frequent use. According to the MEG4 (Mooring Equipment Guidelines, 4th Edition) by the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF), it is recommended to retire mooring ropes when their residual strength falls below 75% of the Ship Design Minimum Breaking Load (MBL). This guideline helps shipowners and technical managers make informed decisions regarding the safety and operational effectiveness of their mooring systems. Ensuring that your mooring ropes maintain adequate strength is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring long-term reliability. MEG4 and residual strength testing Residual strength testing plays a critical role in assessing the performance of mooring ropes. This testing method reveals how much strength the rope retains after prolonged use, providing valuable data on its performance. Regular testing allows shipowners to make data-driven decisions about the retirement and replacement of mooring ropes, ensuring compliance with MEG4 guidelines and preventing failures during critical operations. By continuously monitoring the residual strength of your mooring lines, you can optimize your mooring system and avoid unforeseen rope [...]
