Abstract:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for governing motion of a bend stiffener along a flexible pipe. The apparatus includes a stopper clamp secured to a portion of flexible pipe body and at least one retardation element located on the flexible pipe body at a predetermined position with respect to the stopper clamp. The retardation element is arranged to reduce momentum of a bend stiffener as it moves along the portion of flexible pipe body in a direction towards the stopper clamp.
