Chapter 4: MOORING AND ANCHORING SYSTEM OVERVIEW

This chapter outlines the key characteristics and functions of mooring and anchoring systems associated with floating offshore wind (FLOW) developments.

It describes the main system components and configurations used to maintain platform stability and positional control within an array. Relevant engineering parameters, materials, and anchoring types are summarised, alongside guidance and data sources informing design and assessment. The information establishes a baseline understanding of station-keeping systems for use in subsequent environmental and technical evaluations.
