Njord Linksyn provides an even distribution of buoyancy along an umbilical due to its interlocking and articulated design. It prevents the umbilical from bending past its minimum bend radius (MBR) and provides mechanical support in the event load is applied to the umbilical. Two new additions to the range are the Njord Linksyn SD and Njord Linksyn HD systems.

Njord Linksyn has flexible positioning, the continuous interlocking system makes it possible to “link in” (adding or subtracting) buoyancy elements as necessary to trim the umbilical and ensure it is positioned in the correct orientation in relation to the ROV or plough.

With re-usable buoyancy elements, Njord Linksyn is a “fit and forget” system with a “one size fits all” philosophy, providing operators and builders a commonality of product, allowing the re-use and potential redeployment of Njord Linksyn throughout the ROV or plough fleet.

Njord Linksyn features an integrated polymer bending stiffener, allowing for smooth transition of the umbilical from the end Njord Linksyn modules.

Njord Linksyn has been developed to act as a permanently installed buoyancy collar located on the vehicle directly behind the recovery latching system, to provide support to the umbilical by acting as a “lock out” bending restrictor, forming a continuous and flexible buoyancy collar with a smooth outer profile.
