Floatation

Offspring International offers a range of floatation methods for hawsers and chains.

SPM Hawsers typically manufactured from nylon (SG 1.14) will not float naturally in seawater. A hawser which sinks will foul the catenary moorings of a CALM buoy or other subsea equipment. Therefore we have a range of flotation methods:

• Lace-on hawser floats
• Tubular floats
• Integral floatation.

For SPM chain, Offspring International can supply:

• Chain support buoys.
