Switching from wire rope to synthetic towing lines in Alberta is one of the most practical upgrades a tug operator or marine contractor can make, and Redden Net & Rope Ltd has been supplying that transition since 1978. We carry the full Samson synthetic towing line range and provide the technical guidance to make sure you get the right product for your vessel, drum configuration, and operating conditions.

Why Alberta Tug and Marine Operators Are Moving to Synthetic
The Products Behind the Performance
We carry Samson synthetic towing lines as one of only three authorized Samson dealers in Western Canada, which means you have direct access
to the full technical lineup. For towing applications in Alberta, the most commonly specified products from our range include AmSteel®-Blue
for its maximum strength-to-weight ratio, Quantum-8 for controlled elongation in dynamic towing loads, and Saturn-12 for tug mainline and high-cycle applications. Each synthetic towing lines product comes with documented breaking strengths, elongation characteristics, and third-party certification data. We help you match construction type to your specific towing configuration, including tapered pick-up line options for turret pull-in work on FPSOs and oilfield support vessels.
What Sets Redden Apart for Alberta Towing Operations
Our clients don't just get a product catalog and a price. Redden Net & Rope Ltd provides site visits and direct consultation so we can assess your drum, your vessel class, your typical tow conditions, and your crew's handling preferences before recommending synthetic towing lines in Alberta. That process comes from over seven decades in the marine and industrial rope business. On-time delivery, honest communication, and access to the best synthetic rope manufacturers in the business are what bring Alberta tug operators back to us year after year.
