Abstract
A subsea equipment assembly includes a first component having an axis, a second component, and an anti-vibration bracket. The anti-vibration bracket is attached to the first component and the second component. In use the first component is caused to vibrate at least in a radial direction relative to the axis. The anti-vibration bracket includes a plate portion. The plate portion extends at least radially away from the first component and includes an attachment region located a radial distance away from the first component, the second component is attached to the attachment region. The anti-vibration bracket includes an array of slots, at least some of the slots of the array of slots are located between the first component and the attachment region.
