Ring Chasers and Chaser Stopper

Bruce Bight-Lock chaser

The Bruce Bight-Lock chaser enables an anchor to be recovered in less time than with a conventional chaser.

• Locks onto a chain link or a special socket in a mooring line when the line is pulled into a bight
• Enables most of chaser pendant tension to be applied for anchor recovery
• Enables anchor recovery at lower bollard pull and winch capacity
• For use with chain, wire rope, or a combination of both
• Can be used as a conventional permanent chaser or in bight-lock mode

The Bight-Lock chaser is pulled along the mooring line from the MODU to the mud line near the anchor. The Bight-Lock chaser locks onto a chain link or a special socket on a forerunner wire, and prevents the mooring line from running back through the chaser towards the anchor.

Bruce Chaser Stopper

The Bruce Chaser Stopper is a triangular plate which forms as part of the mooring line and is designed to block passage of the chaser on the anchor.
