摘要: A mooring line length adjusting device and methods is disclosed. The connecting device is arranged for connecting a lower section and an upper section of a mooring line to respective ends of the device and for adjusting a total length of said mooring line from a previous mooring line length to a new mooring line length. The upper end of the mooring line is connected to a floating unit. At least said lower section comprises a chain segment at its top end connected to the device. The device comprises a locking arrangement to lock said chain segment to the connecting device.

摘要: Systems are provided for a fairlead, and in particular to a hawse fairlead. In one example, the fairlead may include a wear insert positioned within a first opening of a fairlead frame configured to guide a rope and/or cable. The wear insert may be constructed from a denser material than the frame.

摘要: Disclosed is a structure such as a floating structure, including at least one fairlead for guiding an anchoring element thereof at an anchoring point, the fairlead including a guide to guide the anchoring element in translation between the structure and the anchoring point, a unit for moving the anchoring element in translation in the guide in order to place the anchoring element under tension, and a lock to prevent the anchoring element from moving in translation in the guide, for mooring the structure to the anchoring point. The unit for moving the anchoring element in translation in the guide is integrated into a distinct part separate from the rest of the structure of the fairlead, and this part and the rest of the structure of the fairlead include the retractable coupling unit thereof.

摘要: An emergency ship arrest system includes a vessel attachment system, a retrieving system, and an anchor system. The vessel attachment system is configured to connect to a vessel at sea, and includes a bridle system and a hawser line. The bridle system is operatively connected to the hawser line's proximal end. The bridle system is configured to engage fittings on two sides of a foredeck of the vessel to distribute the load over the foredeck. The retrieving system includes a retrieving line with a proximal end that is detachably connected to the hawser line's distal end in a setup position. The anchor system includes a main rode and a para sea anchor. The main rode's proximal end is detachably connected to the hawser line's distal end in an anchor position.

摘要: The invention relates to a device (60), such as a chain stopper, for connecting a chain 320 or at least one portion of a chain (320) to a structure (55), such as an offshore structure or vessel. The device comprising a first portion (70) pivotably or rotatably connected or connectable to a structure (55) so as to provide movement of the first portion (70) relative to a structure (55) about or around a first axis (310) of the first portion (70). The first portion comprises a chain or line guiding means (75) arranged for rotational movement about or around the first axis (310) of the first portion (70). In some examples, the device (70) may comprise a second portion (80) pivotably or rotatably connected or connectable to the first portion (70) so as to provide movement of the second portion (80) relative to the first portion (70) about or around a second axis (315) of the second portion. In some examples, the device may comprise at least one means for engaging (85) a chain 320, the engaging means (85) being connected, such as pivotably or rotatably connected, to the second portion.

摘要: Disclosed is a fairlead intended to engage with an anchor chain, for a system for anchoring a floating installation to the ground. The fairlead includes two structures assembled by pivot connection of axis, one upstream, for rigidly connecting the fairlead to the floating installation, and the other downstream, including—a unit for blocking the translational movement of the anchor chain, and—a guide, for guiding a change in direction of the anchor chain. Furthermore, the downstream structure includes two lateral plates delimiting the passage of the chain, the upstream end of each of the plates including a U-shaped bearing receiving an additional arm of the upstream structure and engaging together via a journal, the guide extending between the internal branches of the two bearings.

摘要: Embodiments relate generally to a turret system for use in an FPSO vessel. The turret system may comprise a turret body and windlass subsystem. The turret system may comprise a top and bottom surface, first and second mooring line storage sections, and first and second mooring line channel sections. Each mooring line storage section may include an opening and cavity. Each opening is operable to receive a mooring line. Each mooring line channel section may be an elongated passageway for a mooring line to pass between an exterior of the FPSO vessel and a mooring line storage section. The windlass subsystem may comprise a rotatable member, and configured to be transportable between a plurality of locations. When the windlass assembly is configured to be secured to the turret body, the windlass assembly is configurable to control a movement of a mooring line.
