LCM1791 Mooring Line Tension Monitoring

One of our regular customers, a supplier of safety systems for the oil and gas sector, required a custom designed load measuring pin to replace an existing shackle pin. The load shackle was for sub-sea use to monitor the mooring tension of a single point mooring buoy to protect its mooring line by alerting operators to any instances of approaching overload. Any such occurrence could cause the mooring line to break, potentially allowing the tanker to drift. This is particularly critical during oil transfer operations due to the increased risk of oil spillage.
