We design and supply Turnkey Solutions for marine and aquaculture industries.
Generally, the anchors, mooring lines and connectors make up a mooring system. A mooring line can be chains, fiber ropes, or wire ropes. The mooring system layout depends on the local environmental conditions and the purpose of the offshore unit.
Marine cyclone mooring systems refer to specific moorings used on ships, floating structures or offshore installations during severe weather conditions such as cyclones or hurricanes. These systems are specifically designed to withstand the strong winds, waves and currents associated with cyclonic weather.
Key features and components of an ocean cyclone mooring system include:
High Strength Mooring Lines: The mooring lines used in cyclone mooring systems can be chains, fiber ropes, or wire ropes. These lines are selected based on their ability to withstand extreme loads and provide sufficient breaking strength to hold the vessel or structure in place during cyclone separation.
Multiple Anchor Points: Cyclone mooring systems often utilize multiple anchor points to spread the forces exerted by cyclonic winds and waves. This helps reduce the load on individual anchors and provides redundancy in the event one anchor fails.
The cyclone moorings involved in the doing project were traditional admiralty style 3 x 3Ton stingray anchors and 70mm chain leg moorings.
Stingray Anchor: Stingray anchor provides ultimate holding powers, it’s commonly used in cyclone mooring system and aquaculture fish cage mooring system.
Mooring Lines: Chain provides a strong and economical solution for many mooring and marine applications. In many cases, chain is coupled with fibre rope, sections of chain on a mooring line provide weight and wear resistance where it is most needed, while fibre sections keep weight down and improve the manageability of the system. The chains are always to be mounted in a mooring line via a shackle. The shackle is to be connected to the end link of each chain length.
