ARCO Marine Inc. has adopted lines made from AlliedSignal's Spectra fiber as a replacement for steel wire docking lines on its entire fleet. The Whitehill lines with Spectra fiber not only provide the essentials of strength and durability, but they also have the added benefits of increased safety for its people. Because Spectra fiber lines are lightweight and smaller in diameter, only one deckman and one longshoreman are usually needed to work the lines. ARCO has experienced a reduction in injuries and the unnecessary downtime associated with wire-line related incidents.
