  2. Offshore embedded anchors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_embedded_anchors

    The properties of chain, versus wire, mooring lines have been investigated, with chain mooring lines causing reductions in anchor capacity of up to 70%. [6] Thus, where appropriate and cost-efficient, wire mooring lines should be used. The embedded section of a mooring line contributes to the anchor's holding capacity against horizontal movement.

  3. Anchor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor

    Auger anchors can be used to anchor permanent moorings, floating docks, fish farms, etc. These anchors, which have one or more slightly pitched self-drilling threads, must be screwed into the seabed with the use of a tool, so require access to the bottom, either at low tide or by use of a diver.

    The Plant's task was to bury each of three anchors for a mooring deep into the seabed. [5] A mooring vessel (in the 1960s, HMS Moorland) would first lay out the mooring components in position. [5] Good weather was required for operation of the bell, and the barge would be moored with six or eight anchors to keep it in place.

  5. Mooring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mooring

    These anchors are known as swing moorings because a vessel attached to this kind of mooring swings in a circle when the direction of wind or tide changes. For a small boat (e.g. 22' / 6.7 m sailing yacht), this might consist of a heavy weight on the seabed, a 12 mm or 14 mm rising chain attached to the "anchor", and a bridle made from 20 mm ...

    Bruce Anchor Co has its primary role in the very large anchor business, producing mooring anchors and permanent installation types for heavy industry, such as oilrigs. On the back of this reputation, the Bruce small boat anchor type was initially very successful, and represented some significant improvements over the CQR. It is no longer produced.

  7. Fish aggregating device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_aggregating_device

    Moored FADs occupy a fixed location and attach to the sea bottom using a weight such as a concrete block. A rope made of floating synthetics such as polypropylene attaches to the mooring and in turn attaches to a buoy. The buoy can float at the surface (lasting 3–4 years) or lie subsurface to avoid detection and surface hazards such as ...
