A clamp for a flexible pipe, the clamp comprising:

• a longitudinal axis arranged to extend along a length of the flexible pipe;
• a radial axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
• a plurality of separate clamp elements each having a closed transverse passage, the plurality of separate clamp elements being supported together in a radial array by a filament extending through the closed transverse passage and at least partially around the longitudinal axis;
• an engagement device located between neighboring clamp elements of the plurality of separate clamp elements to movably interconnect the neighboring clamp elements;
• and
• a strap adapted to surround the plurality of separate clamp elements, in use for exerting a compressive force thereon,
• wherein each clamp element comprises lateral faces, and
• wherein the engagement device comprises plug and socket formations provided on each of the lateral faces.
