A floating structure ( 1 ), such as a mooring buoy, moored to the seabed ( 2 ) via anchor lines ( 3,4 ) that comprise an anchor line section ( 9,10 ) which is stretchable in its length direction, such as a polyester line. A water-resistant element ( 7,8 ) is connected at or near the upper end of at least one of the stretchable anchor line sections ( 9,10 ) for resisting displacement in the length direction of the anchor lines ( 3,4 ). Preferably the water-resistance element ( 7,8 ) is connected to the floating structure ( 1 ) via a substantially non-stretchable anchor line section ( 5,6 ), such as chain section. The floating structure ( 1 ) can be moored in deep water, and reduces fatigue weakening of the floating structure ( 1 ) and of the anchor lines ( 3,4 ).
