InterMoor has developed the Inter-M Swivel, a multipurpose mooring swivel that can join chains of the same or dissimilar sizes, allowing for 360-degree rotational freedom under tension. The tool does not require kenters or joining shackles because it connects directly into studless or common studlink chain, which lowers costs and saves time during mooring equipment assembly by reducing the number of connections in the system while providing rotational freedom. Each Inter-M Swivel is proof load tested to 4,731 kN (1,064 kips). One in every 25 is taken to extreme break loads to ensure the Inter-M Swivel can withstand 8,000 kN (1,799 kips). www.intermoor.com
