- This paper describes the development of an intelligent mooring shock absorber, investigated as part of an I:UK project with Teqniqa Ltd. The research confirmed the suitability of this product in the offshore renewable market. Subsequently the company has progressed the product technology development in collaboration with Exeter, reaching product TRL 7 through component testing at Exeter. In 2019, a £241k JIP project was supported by the Carbon Trust, enabling the development of the product to TRL 8, and a spin out company, Intelligent Mooring Systems (David Newsam dnewsam@intelligentmoorings.com, Director) has been founded.
