Multiple anchor mooring systems use two or more (often three) light weight temporary-style anchors set in an equilateral arrangement and all chained to a common center from which a conventional rode extends to a mooring buoy. The advantages are minimized mass, ease of deployment, high holding-power-to-weight ratio, and availability of temporary ...
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.
An anchor is a device, normally made of metal, used to secure a vessel to the bed of a body of water to prevent the craft from drifting due to wind or current. The word derives from Latin ancora, which itself comes from the Greek ἄγκυρα (ankȳra). [2] [3] Anchors can either be temporary or permanent.

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.

The following is a list of berth types based on the method of construction: [1] Solid structure berth In these berths, a solid vertical structure is created to contain fill material which is brought all the way to the structure.
A mooring may be a buoy that is attached to a permanently emplaced anchor, but a mooring may also be any other sort of deliberate structure (e.g., quay) to which a vessel can be secured. A berth is a designated place at a mooring where a vessel may tie up. See for example "berth (moorings)" and the first picture of "two small marina-type berths".
