Standing Rigging Replacement – Woolwich Dock

Tuesday 27th January 2026

Arcus Wire Group, the Oceania exclusive distributor for hamma®, recently supported a full standing rigging replacement project at Woolwich Dock, delivered by Sydney-based rigger Tempo Spars.

The scope of works involved full mast handling using a mobile crane, highlighting the level of planning, coordination and on-site execution required for complex marine rigging projects.

Operating in a constrained dockside environment, the project required careful sequencing to ensure safe mast removal, rig replacement and final reinstallation.

Products specified for this project

A range of premium hamma® Marine products were specified and installed as part of the replacement, including:

hamma® X Strand wire rope
hamma® Pro Strand wire rope
A complete range of hamma® Regatta fittings
hamma® Regatta T-Bar Turnbuckles, engineered for strength, reliability and a clean, professional finish

From mast handling through to final assembly, this installation demonstrates how high-quality stainless steel components play a critical role in long-term rig performance, reliability and safety in demanding marine environments.
