OverviewEngineered for controlled mooring and safe emergency disconnection in offshore LNG and oil & gas operations, these quick release offshore hooks are designed for FSRU side-by-side mooring and FPSO tandem mooring and offloading. They include integrated release options, load monitoring capability and certification options for hazardous zones.
FSRU operations- Side-by-side mooring of LNG carriers and terminals
- Continuous operation during loading and regasification
- Safe release under load for emergency scenarios
Optional integrations- Remote release systems interfaced with control room
- Hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuation
- Real-time mooring load monitoring with alarm outputs
FPSO operationsDesigned for tandem mooring and offloading where shuttle tankers connect astern. Configurable as fixed single hooks or as project-specific arrangements to suit deck geometry.
- Controlled tandem mooring in dynamic offshore conditions
- Safe disconnection during offloading or emergency release
- Stable line handling under varying loads
Safe Working Load & Custom DesignStandard Safe Working Load (SWL): 250–300 tons. Higher capacities and bespoke mechanical designs available on request to meet project mooring specifications.
Integrated Mooring Load Monitoring SystemThis option provides:
- Real-time mooring load data
- Visual and audible alarms when thresholds are exceeded
- Monitoring panels for local cabinets or control rooms
