ABSTRACT:
A series of spaced in-line plates attached to a through wire, rope or chain ooring line is placed between an anchor and the main mooring line to enhance overall mooring capability of an installed anchor of any of a variety of types including stake piles, propellant embedment anchors, vibratory anchors, and jetted in anchors. For the device to be functional the mooring lead should be approximately unidirectional and mooring scope should be such that upon loading, the anchor plate system is forced into the seafloor as the line catenary between the anchor deadman and the moored object straightens.
