Six chafe chain sleeves (designed by Resinex) were sent to the Congo Republic for the protection of mooring chains.
They were ordered by Prosafe which is using them in the anchorage system of the FPSO ship (floating production, storage and offloading) Azurite which can store 1.4 million barrels of oil and which operates off Congo Brazzaville.
They are half a metre in internal diameter and 1.1 meter externally and have a length of 3.6 metres. They were projected to be not fixed but to slide along the chain so as to protect the boats during operations.
