Manila Man Ropes - Pair of Manila Man Ropes for Pilot and Embarkation Ladders - Manila Ladder Ropes

28mm Manila ropes, lengths 2.5m–20.5m. Designed for pilot ladders, embarkation ladders, and marine boarding, these natural fibre ropes provide operators with a secure handhold when ascending or descending. Rope length should correspond to ladder height, and their use may be required by port authority regulations. Compatible with Oversized Shackles for Man Rope.

Manropes are traditionally used by maritime pilots during vessel disembarkation, providing an extra point of safety alongside a standard pilot ladder or embarkation ladder. Pilots / Operators have relied on these natural fibre ropes to steady themselves as they climb down, using their gloves as a brake and their legs as shock absorbers. This long-proven method offers added stability, grip, and confidence when transferring from ship to launch, especially in challenging sea conditions.
