Detailed description
The BarLatch™ Fairlead Stopper is an innovative underwater swiveling fairlead and chain stopper (sometimes referred to with the acronym “UCFS”) developed specifically for floating production applications.
It is designed to achieve the best possible chain wear characteristics for successful long term passive mooring.
The principal components are an underwater Pivoting Chain Stopper and a swiveling Chainwheel. It addresses the need to reduce chain wear, when the mooring line is rarely moved, by placing the integral chain stopper outboard of the fairlead.
Depending on the application specific requirement, the BarLatch™ Fairlead Stopper can be designed as an underwater or deck mounted device. This versatility allows the Bardex engineers to optimize the Mooring System design to suit the customer’s exact needs.
When the stopper’s latches are engaged, the high line tension is removed from the chain in the vertical leg and around the underwater swiveling fairlead. This produces superior chain life compared with conventional chainwheels or bending shoe type fairleads.
