摘要: A top connector (12) for a tether (16) of subsea buoy (10) comprises support (46), lever member (60) movable about pivot axis, and chain stop mechanism (64) mounted on the to be situated below axis in use. The is pivotably connected (46) via flex joint (58) arranged bear tensile load exerted by (22) when engaged with (64). improves bending fatigue life (22). frame (30) extends upwardly from carry sheave (32) (62) downwardly (46). pivotable relative (30), allowing compact arrangement that avoids or clashing shell (14) (10).
