Nice pic, Joe! The DDI BS Latcher does seem to be a unique Bend Stiffener product in terms of the latching capability.

"Umbilical stiffener latching mechanisms have always caused installation problems as well as expensive diver operations for expansion developments. DDI management conceived the very first ROV installable latching mechanism we have heard of. Divers installed a Bell mouth with locking dogs on the bottom of the I-tube. During the umbilical installation, the bend stiffner could be latched in with a ROV and the umbilical could be pulled up the remaining distance and hung off. During the BP Aspen installation, a competitive version of Bell mouth failed allowing DDI to develop a new type of latcher which was spring loaded. This allowed the latcher to fit onto an existing flange, completely eliminating the need for divers both prior to and during the installation. The BS Latcher can be designed to fit onto any existing flange on the bottom of an existing I-tube."
