ABSTRACT:
A mooring system is provided, which can be rapidly installed and which is of relatively low cost. The system includes a transfer structure attached to a vessel, an anchor line extending from the transfer structure to a chain table near the sea floor, and catenary chains extending from the chain table to the sea floor. A weight hangs from the chain table to help in setting up the system and in mooring a vessel thereafter. The transfer structure includes a platform that can rotate with respect to the vessel, and a direction sensor for controlling a motor that rotates the platform opposite to rotation of the vessel, to avoid twist of the anchor line.
