Ropes and ropes produced by the Castellammare company have been used on board the Navy ship since the launch, which took place in Castellammare in 1931.
Ship Vespucci took advantage of the stop in Castellammare di Stabia to host on board the ship's captain Guglielmo Pignataro, director of Maricorderia, a company that produces various ropes and ropes, of vegetable fiber, which are used on board the ship.
After a 5-month training campaign and with the Vespucci ship still in operation for the institutional appointments scheduled until early November, the opportunity for this short stop was profitable to exchange impressions on the use of Maricorderia products.
Ship Vespucci in fact it opens, closes and directs its sails to the wind thanks to the more than 30 km of ropes and ropes that are exposed to the elements during all the education and representation activities. In the case of this year's Education Campaign there is talk of uninterrupted use starting from March and with an emblematic 70% of sailing for the return ocean crossing lasting 28 days.
Ship Vespucci has thus also carried out the important work of providing technical and practical feedback on the use and wear of the tops, details that will be used by the staff responsible for their preparation in order to always have an excellent and environmentally friendly product.
The rope embarked on a ship Vespucci it is in vegetable fiber, manilla and hemp, but the production of the plant is diversified and also includes synthetic material, such as polyester, nylon and polypropylene, and naval equipment products made exclusively by hand such as biscuits, nets and non-slip pads.
