High performance swivel for temporary moorings
The MoorLink mooring chain swivels are supplied in either forged or cast versions. The structural design is thoroughly analyzed by FEM-analysis and allows the swivel to run through a fairlead, chaser ring or over an anchor handler stern roller under high load, avoiding damage to the bearing system or any other swivel part. The bearing consists of a high grade, maintenance free bronze alloy slide bearing. All MoorLink mooring chain swivels are approved by the major certifying authorities. See drawings and type examples listed below.
