they are amazing!-im going to guess that it ways at least 400 pounds!
speaking of spring loaded -ron was also showing us the rov hooks--and the u shaped eyelets with the pins through the bottom--where the rov would pull on the rope with a ball at the bottom and the pin would seperate allowing the the rov to disconnect something (all spring loaded)
then the hooks were set up very similar were the rov would grab the ball on a rope and pull,which would unlock the hook from whatever it was connected to -
The BS Latcher is a proprietary Deep Down design which offers its clients significant cost savings as compared to many of its competitors' products. These cost savings arise principally out of the unique quick-release and locking mechanism which can be engaged by a single ROV without any need for divers for any phase of its deployment. As bend stiffeners get larger and heavier, it is also important to note that the bend stiffener can be carried behind the bullnose of the Deep Down BS Latcher and engaged into the mating bellmouth quickly and efficiently. Upon completion, the bend stiffener can be released to allow the bullnose and umbilical to be pulled up through the remaining length of the I-tube and hung off at the topside hang-off flange.
