Load Reduction Device

The LRD is a simple yet highly innovative mooring component. The LRD is connected in-line between the anchor and the floating platform. It’s manufactured from steel with concrete ballast to ensure local supply globally, using materials with a long established track record in subsea applications.

Why your project needs our LRD

Up to 40% mooring CAPEX reduction

Greater Storm Protection

Up to 80% Reduced Mooring Loads

Tailored Response

Reduced Fatigue Load

>25 Year Design Life

Customised Compliance

LRD’s simplicity is its greatest strength. It rotates in response to wave-induced platform motion. Our unique design delivers both peak and fatigue load reduction and because it’s so simple it can be easily tailored to optimise mooring performance for every project.

LRD Sizing & Selection

We’ve developed an LRD Design Guide and interactive LRD Sizing Tool to help you design your system. Use our tool to download an LRD stiffness response to incorporate in your moorings model.
