In-line Mooring Tensioner (ILMT)
Tensioning
Applications
In-Line Mooring Tensioning is suitable for a range of mooring applications. It allows the anchor connection and vessel connection to be simple and robust, with no requirements for chain jacks or chain lockers. The tensioning operation takes place away from the vessel, this is important for applications where the floater supports high value assets or delicate structures, making ILMTs ideal for both Oil & Gas and Renewables alike. The versatile system design afforded by the in-line tensioner has already found applications for new installations and in the remediation/life extension of an existing vessel.

Story
Whilst we were developing our own designs for an in-line tensioner, we were approached by one of our clients to develop an tensioner for their application. The cast design means that the in-line tensioner can meet the requirements for DNVGL-OS-E302 or equivalent 3rd party standards for mooring chain accessories.
