114199000 | CABLE STOPPERS | 9 |
20090133612 | DYNAMIC MOTION SUPPRESSION OF RISER, UMBILICAL AND JUMPER LINES - Dynamic motion decoupling and damping is achieved with the use of mass, added mass, buoyancy, submerged weight and drag in arbitrary locations on catenary and/or tensioned lines. The original line configuration may or may not be modified. Novel, drag and added mass enhancing devices effective in all directions can be used to increase the suppression effectiveness and/or in order to reduce the number of devices used. This invention is suitable for use on new designs and it is also suitable for retrofitting on existing, already installed lines. | 05-28-2009 |
20150136007 | Rope Stopper System - A rope stopper system for a fibre rope ( | 05-21-2015 |
114200000 | Chain | 7 |
20080282955 | Pull In - Pay Out Mooring System - A mooring method for a moored vessel that comprises a first chain stopper that is fixed to the vessel and is operable to selectively couple an upper chain to the vessel. A chain tensioner is coupled to the vessel and is operable to pull the upper chain. A second chain stopper is fixed to the vessel and is operable to selectively couple the upper chain to the vessel. The chain tensioner engages the upper chain at a location between the first chain stopper and the second chain stopper. | 11-20-2008 |
20100175604 | Dual axis chain support with chain pull through - A chain support | 07-15-2010 |
20110041751 | DEVICE FOR A SHARK JAW - A device for a shark jaw onboard a vessel is described, where the shark jaw is arranged to secure an anchor line, a cable, a chain or the like, characterized in that the shark jaw comprises measuring equipment in the form of one or more load readers arranged to one or more sides of the shark jaw to read strains which arise during load effects in said anchor line, cable, chain or the like. | 02-24-2011 |
20120160146 | FAIRLEAD LATCH DEVICE - A self-aligning fairlead latch device is provided for guiding and securing an anchor chain between an offshore structure and an anchor. The fairlead latch device includes a latch housing pivotally mounted to a fairlead housing. The latch housing includes one or more latches for securing the anchor chain in place. The fairlead latch device further includes an upper retainer component that is coupled to an upper support structure and a lower support structure. The coupling of the upper retainer component to the support structures allow the fairlead latch device to be relocated by lifting of the device from the support structures. | 06-28-2012 |
20130312649 | APPARATUS FOR GRIPPING A CHAIN - An apparatus for gripping a chain including a body which allows passage of the chain is disclosed. The body has first and second chain gripping devices, both adapted to grip the chain to restrict or prevent movement of the chain relative to the body. These first and second gripping devices are arranged in the body in respective first and second angular orientations which are offset with respect to one another, whereby the first and second chain gripping devices are adapted to grip respective links of the chain having different angular orientations. An associated method is also described. | 11-28-2013 |
20160023720 | MOORING CHAIN STOPPING DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR THE OFFSHORE MOORING OF A BUOYANT STRUCTURE INTO WHICH SUCH A DEVICE IS BUILT - The invention relates to a mooring chain stopping device, comprising: a locking housing ( | 01-28-2016 |
20160137267 | METHOD OF SUPPORTING A CHAIN STOPPER ON A VESSEL, A CHAIN STOPPER ASSEMBLY FOR A VESSEL, AND A VESSEL - A method of supporting a chain stopper on a vessel, a chain stopper assembly for a vessel, and a vessel. The method of supporting a chain stopper on a vessel may comprise the steps of connecting a swivel element to the support structure on the vessel such that the swivel element is pivotable around a first axis perpendicular to a substantially horizontal axis; and coupling a chain stopper element to the swivel element such that the chain stopper element is pivotable relative to the swivel element around the substantially horizontal axis. | 05-19-2016 |
