The mooring connector 10 has a hollow body or shell (12) and a central core (14). The hollow body or shell (12) is formed from an engineering polymer, e.g. polyamide, and is generally cylindrical and has two shell parts (16, 18). The hollow body (12) has an outer surface (20) and an inner surface (22). The outer surface (20) has a central groove portion or rope running surface (24) and two outer groove portions or rope running surfaces (26, 28). The two outer groove portions or rope running surfaces (26, 28) are tapered, such that the outer groove portions (26, 28) are not equally spaced from the central groove portion (24) around the entire circumference of the hollow body or shell (12). The central core (14) is a solid body that is formed from a metallic material, for example steel. The central core (14) is generally cylindrical and has a shape that is configured to correspond to the shape of the recess (30) of the hollow body or shell (12). The central core (14) has a central portion (44) and arms (46, 48) that extend from the central portion (44) to outer flanges (50, 52). The diameter of the central core (14) at the outer flanges (50, 52) and the central portion (44) is greater than the diameter of the central core (14) at the arms (46, 48). This is to ensure that the central core (14) has the required strength in the areas of the mooring connector (10) that supports a rope, in use.
