In some aspects of the inventive subject matter, there is provided a monitor for monitoring at least one operational condition of an underwater mooring line, the monitor comprising an elongate main body, a protective shroud, at least one operational condition sensor for monitoring the, or each, operational condition, at least one acoustic transmitter, and (in some instances) a source of electrical power for powering the operation of the sensor and transmitter. The main body has at first and second ends respectively first and second mooring line connections (each configured for connection to a respective mooring line) and an intermediate portion. In use, the intermediate section is under tension between the first and second ends when the mooring line is under load. The, or each, operational condition sensor is attached to the intermediate section, the sensor having a signal output for providing a signal regarding the sensed operational condition. |
