Rig Barrier Nets
They are designed to engage and repel large debris and typical offshore supply vessels away from the risers. The horizontal and vertical ropes of the net are made of low stretch, light weight Dyneema (HMPE) and are made to resist excessive motion and subsequent damage from wave action.

Nets are designed to allow the replacement of a section of the net in the field, ideally using the platform cranes or winches.
