An anchoring or mooring system in which heavy weights (15) made from steel, lead or other heavy materials are placed inside prismatic hollow stakes (14) formed as piles embedded into the seabed or hollow stakes (70) supported by a structure (71, 72) above the seabed. The weights (15) are connected through a fairlead (21) in the top of the stake (14) to the mooring buoy (13) or the vessel (12). In deeper water the heavy weights (15) are placed inside hollow prismatic structural members (101) supported by a tripod (100). The weights (15) are connected through a fairlead (108) in the top of the structural member to a mooring buoy (113) or the vessel (110). Two or more such structures separated by some distance may be connected to a single mooring buoy (13) or a single point of the vessel (12) to restrict the horizontal excursion of the vessel (12). |
