— Connect in any orientation<br />
— No Release under load<br />
— Fully scaleable design<br />
— Bespoke design solutions
Why Use Ballgrab?<br />
— Quick make up<br />
— Full vertical access<br />
— Heave tolerant<br />
— Simple ROV-operated release system<br />
— Simple mechanical design<br />
— High strength connections<br />
— Custom design<br />
— High quality forged materials<br />
— Approved by a wide range of certifying bodies
Ballgrab Mooring Applications<br />
— Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO)<br />
