Heerema Marine Contractors contracted Moorlink in January
2008 for the supply of three special riser pull in sockets
to be used for the Perdido Spar riser pull in operation. In
less than eight weeks Moorlink performed the design, purchase of high grade forged steel and completed the
manufacturing and testing and delivery of the three special
sockets.

The socket design is very slim in addition to the
detachable pull in head which can be alerted to serve different
geometrical restrictions when passing fairlead wheels
or other obstacles.
