ABSTRACT:
A mooring line flotation device for maintaining a mooring line extending from an offshore structure above the surface of a body of water when the mooring line is not in use. The flotation device is a raft-like float having an open center. A buoyant bordering member is provided around the center and a perforated platform member extends across the center above the surface of the body of water when the float is afloat. A coupling device is affixed to the float for releasably affixing the float to the offshore structure in close proximity therewith, whereby a mooring line extending from the structure is supported, when not in use, by the platform member in essentially unfouled, clean, dry and readily available condition for use when desired.
