Marine Rigging

Marine rigging involves the system of wires, ropes, chains, and hardware used to support, control, and operate ships and their equipment. It enables ships to hoist sails, operate cranes, and manage masts and antennas securely, ensuring stability and safety at sea. Rigging is crucial for transferring loads, maintaining balance, and adjusting equipment in response to weather and sea conditions. Properly designed and maintained rigging ensures efficient operation, safety of crew, and the vessel’s structural integrity during various marine activities.
