Based on the Bardex BarLatch Fairlead Chain Stopper, the Barmoor Quick Connector has been designed to provide engineering proficiency and improved operational interfaces to extend the life of the system and the mooring lines, the company explained.

Some of the advantages of the Barmoor Quick Connector include reduced project risk and installation time, and the ability to be produced at scale which speeds up the delivery.

Further, because the connector does not have highly precision machined parts, it is more reliable and less prone to fabrication defects or assembly errors, the company suggested.

Bardex designs, builds, and supports engineering systems and propriety products to meet the marine industry’s toughest challenges. Its products and services focus on mooring and tensioning, shiplift and transfer, launch and recovery of chain jack lift systems, SCR and pipeline riser pull-in, skidding, load handling, and rig leveling and restraining.
