Abstract: An anchoring system for floating platform which eliminates the pitch and roll movements of the floating platform using anchoring lines (200) attached to the seabed (5), which are supported by several pulleys or rotary fixing means (2, 3) of the floating platform (100) and are all joined in a common counterweight (1) hanging from the floating platform (100). Each anchoring line (200) comprises a direct subline (200d) and a cross subline (200c), which maintain the counterweight (1) always located in correspondence with the central axis (300) of the floating platform (100). It also describes a novel method for installing the floating platform at its destination without the aid of special ships.

Abstract: Anchoring system for floating platform (100) that eliminates pitching and rolling movements of the floating platform (100), by means of several anchoring lines (200) attached to the seabed (5), which are supported by several rotary fixing means (2, 3) or pulleys of the floating platform (100) and are all joined together in a common counterweight (1) hanging from the platform (100). Each anchoring line (200) comprises sublines (200d, 200c) (direct, crossover or diagonal), which keep the counterweight (1) always in correspondence with the central axis (300) of the floating platform (100). It also eliminates the pendulum movement of the counterweight (1) and is valid for floating platforms (100) with an odd number of protruding structural arms (12). The system is applicable to any type of floating platform (100), although it is particularly suitable for floating platforms that support offshore wind turbines and marine leisure platforms.
