Abstract

A mooring system may include a plurality of mooring weights, which can include a first mooring weight and a second mooring weight spaced apart from each other, for placement on a floor surface of a body of water. A mooring system may also include a cable or chain extending between and coupling to the first mooring weight and the second mooring weight. The first mooring weight can be coupled to an offshore vessel via a second cable. Additionally, the first mooring weight can apply a vertical force on the floor surface that is equivalent to and counteracts a maximum vertical buoyancy force exerted by the offshore vessel on the second cable. The second mooring weight can solely apply a horizontal friction force on the floor surface of the body of water.
