Ship Assist – Viking Armor

Prevent unnecessary chafe with Chafe-Pro®’s Viking Armor Ship-Assist Series.

Chafe abrasion of expensive ship-assist lines can easily put your line budget in the red. Chafe-Pro®’s patented Viking Armor line protection offers mariners a first line of defense in the battle against chafe-abrasion. The Viking Armor Ship-Assist Series of Chafe-Pro® has been engineered to provide maximum line protection. It is constructed of specially woven thick industrial grade nylon and coated with FJORD’s own blend of water-based polyester.The special coating aids in holding the nylon weave together in areas where the chafing gear is stressed the most by friction.

The Viking Armor Ship-Assist Series are wrapped around the assist line loosely so that it can be easily moved to the required position of protection on the line. The wrap is held in place with the use of a “high end” hook and loop closure. The unit is held in place on the assist line by a tether that is either tied to the eye of the assist line or to a fixture on the tug’s deck.

The standard color for the Viking Armor Ship-Assist Series is yellow.
