Information

Since the inception of Chafe-Pro®, FJORD has continued to improve the product line. To that end we have been successful, as Chafe-Pro® is regarded today, by many, as the best marine chafe-protection device on the market. We attribute that success to our customers, because we have listened to their suggestions; many of which we incorporated into the Chafe-Pro® product line. Our experienced design and manufacturing team have an excellent reputation for quickly responding to customer requests for special line-protection applications.

Today, Chafe-Pro® line and eye protectors are used on over 95% of the US Coast Guard cutter fleet and on over 65 US naval vessels, by Military Sealift Command & NOAA, as well as being used on many foreign naval vessels. Chafe-Pro® is used on America’s Tall Ship, the US Coast Guard Cutter Eagle . The USCGC Eagle is the training ship for future Coast Guard officers at the US Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT. In addition, a large number of US Coast Guard shore stations use our yacht-grade units for their smaller vessels. Chafe-Pro® is not only the first choice in line protection used by the U.S. military, but is also the first choice of many shipping and towing companies to protect both their mooring and towing hawsers. Today Chafe-Pro® is used to protect the mooring lines that are being used to secure large passenger ships such as the SS United States , former flagship of the U.S. Merchant Marine, at its permanent mooring. Our various Chafe-Pro® units are in use by many foreign flag operated towing companies to protect their towing and ship assist lines.

For over ten years, FJORD has been contracted to supply Chafe-Pro® to US Government agencies and contractors. Our GSA Contract Number is: GS-07F-0329K.
