The elastic mooring system is designed to absorb, in a controlled manner, the dynamic loads generated by the marine environment, without relying on the weight and deformation of a long mooring line under catenary tension.
Thanks to its elastic behavior, it significantly reduces the load peaks transmitted to the floating structure and improves the system’s response to waves, wind, and currents. This results in a more efficient system with less wear and greater operational stability.
In addition, the shorter required length of the mooring lines allows for more efficient use of the water area and simplifies installation, which can be carried out using underwater methods without the need for large auxiliary equipment.
