Mooring chains, anchors and offshore ropes are used in the offshore sector to stabilise and position floating production and storage facilities. They are also used by cranes and heavy lifting equipment during installation activities to lift and hoist heavy equipment and oil and gas platform facilities.

Offshore Technology has listed leading providers of mooring and heavy lifting equipment solutions such as rope back tension units, rope guides, tensioner ropes, steel wire ropes for cranes, wire rope slings, and heavy lift slings based on its intel, insights, and decades-long experience in the sector.

The list includes providers of offshore ropes and mooring chains, anchors, mooring shackles, alloy chain slings, mooring wire ropes, chain inspection services, mooring analysis and anchor holding analysis, chain swivels and anchor handling swivels, and offshore weather buoys.

A mooring system is important to keep offshore facilities in position in the unstable and harsh deepwater conditions at offshore oil and gas fields. The system is designed to sustain loads of waves, water currents and wind. It comprises various elements such as steel chains, fibre ropes, shackles, sockets, connectors, and anchors based on the operating environment.

Mooring chains are preferred for permanent mooring of facilities in shallow water while steel wire rope is preferred in deep waters due to their lighter weight and higher elasticity. The mooring system relies on anchors that are placed on the sea floor to provide stability.

Subsea construction activities for the development of oil and gas fields require the use of specialised heavy lifting equipment to install subsea infrastructure, oil and gas platforms and other infrastructure.

Some of the heavy lifting equipment and solutions are:
