Movable Chain Jack Mooring Systems

Movable chain jacks that service multiple mooring lines, reducing cost, weight and onboard chain storage compared with fixed chain jacks.

Description

A Bardex movable chain jack travels between mooring lines on a floating production unit, allowing later retensioning and changes to riser touch-down points. It costs and weighs less than multiple fixed chain jacks, reduces onboard chain storage and can be removed for storage on land.

Key features

  • Chain always held by fixed stopper latches or traveling crossarm latches, spring-set closed so they cannot open under tension
  • Operation can be fully automated
  • First delivered in 2002
  • Bardex also retrofits other brands of chain jacks or chain hoists

Applications

FPSOs and floating production units; references include Jansz-Io, Scarborough, Ichthys Explorer CPF and CLOV FPSO.
