Method of single line mooring
View Patent ↗The method of mooring buoyant equipment at the surface of a body of water in a controlled position using a single line by connecting a first line from the buoyant equipment to a first diameter drum on a subsea mooring tower, connecting the first diameter drum to a second diameter drum, connecting a second line from the second diameter drum to a weight, such that when the depth of the body of water changes the tension on the first line remains the same and the vertical distance travelled by the weight is less than the change in the depth of the body of water.
1. The method of mooring buoyant equipment at the surface of a body of water in a controlled position using a single line, comprising connecting a first line from said buoyant equipment to a first diameter drum on a subsea mooring tower, connecting said first diameter drum to a second diameter drum, connecting a second line from said second diameter drum to a weight, such that when the depth of said body of water changes the tension on said first line remains the same and the vertical distance travelled by said weight is less than the change in the depth of said body of water and wherein said first diameter drum is of a larger diameter than said second diameter drum.
