Disclosed is conduit anchor, an offshore system comprising a conduit anchor and a method of deployment. The conduit anchor includes a base section adapted for attachment to a conduit, and a conduit guide extending from the base section. In use a dynamic conduit extends along a dynamic conduit pathway range defined by the anchor, via the conduit guide. The conduit guide comprises a convex bend protecting surface region oriented towards the dynamic conduit pathway range which in use protects against over bending of the dynamic conduit.

Disclosed is a demountable link, suitable in particular for interconnecting two chains for anchoring floating equipment to the ground. This demountable link, shaped like an oblong ring, includes two straight sections connected by two curved sections, and includes: —two side parts each forming one of the curved sections, and —two connecting parts, each forming at least one portion of one of the straight sections, the side parts being assembled with the connecting parts, through removable fastening unit.

Disclosed is a connector apparatus for connecting a mooring line to a floating vessel, in which connector assemblies are cooperatively engaged and rotationally constrained. A pre-tensioning arrangement may be provided to apply a pre-tensioning force between the connector assemblies, and pivotable connection may be provided by way of pins which rotationally constrain the assemblies to one another. Methods of connecting and pre-tensioning connector assemblies are also disclosed.

A mooring buoy for a vessel comprises a floating body arranged to project out of the water. At least one buoy anchoring line is connected between the floating body and sea floor. At least one vessel mooring line is connectable between the mooring buoy and the vessel. At least one moveable electric cable is connected to a power supply and the moveable electric cable has a free end connectable to a switchboard of the vessel when the vessel is tethered to the at least one vessel mooring line. The free end of the at least one moveable electric cable is moveable between a retracted position and a connected position and the tension of the at least one vessel mooring line is greater than the tension in the at least one moveable electric cable when the free end of the at least one moveable electric cable is in the connected position.
