Abstract: Disclosed is a fairlead for guiding an anchoring element of an offshore structure, such as a floating structure, at an anchoring point, of the type having a guide for the anchoring element and a lock holding the anchoring element in position, having a locking jaw including two locking jaw elements that are movable by a maneuvering unit actuated by a controller, between a closed position preventing the anchoring element from moving in translation and an open position releasing the anchoring element. The controller is of the impulse-type, and the maneuvering unit includes a pawl that defines successive stable open and closed positions of the jaw-forming unit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a structure such as a floating structure, including at least one fairlead for guiding an anchoring element thereof at an anchoring point, the fairlead including a guide to guide the anchoring element in translation between the structure and the anchoring point, a unit for moving the anchoring element in translation in the guide in order to place the anchoring element under tension, and a lock to prevent the anchoring element from moving in translation in the guide, for mooring the structure to the anchoring point. The unit for moving the anchoring element in translation in the guide is integrated into a distinct part separate from the rest of the structure of the fairlead, and this part and the rest of the structure of the fairlead include the retractable coupling unit thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fairlead for guiding an anchoring element, allowing the anchoring of a unit, such as a floating unit, to an anchoring point, and in particular being applicable to permanent anchoring devices of the submerged fairlead type with an integrated chain stopper, in fields such as the marine, offshore, and renewable marine energy industries. The fairlead comprises guide means 1 to 4 able to guide the translation of the anchoring element between the unit and the anchoring point, and blocking means 5 able to block the translation of the anchoring element in the guide means 1 to 4. The blocking means 5 are mounted on the guide means 1 to 4 at least partially freely rotating around an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the anchoring element when the latter is guided in the guide means 1 to 4.
