An apparatus 10 for anchoring a buoyant assembly (20, Fig 2) to a submerged anchorage (22, Fig 2) comprises a receptacle 12 adapted for mounting to the buoyant assembly, an elongate member 14 passable through the receptacle between first 12a and second 12b sides of the receptacle and a mooring line 16 attached to the elongate member. The elongate member is passable through the receptacle in first and second opposing axial directions and the mooring line is connectable to the submerged anchorage. The receptacle is operable in a first mode, in which the receptacle inhibits passage of the elongate member through the receptacle in at least one of the axial directions, and a second mode, in which the receptacle permits passage of the elongate member through the receptacle in both axial directions. The apparatus may improve the ease and/or the cost efficiency of anchoring a buoyant assembly when compared to conventional apparatus. |
