Anchoring and guidance systems control the movement of floating structures by keeping them within defined limits, while allowing for the necessary displacement to absorb environmental stresses.

Depending on site conditions and the type of facility, MSI can integrate various technical solutions:

• Chain anchoring, used in installations requiring greater freedom of movement and at significant depths.
• Elastic mooring systems that incorporate components capable of absorbing dynamic loads.
• Guided by piles, which allows for precise control of the position of the floating platforms.
• Damping links, designed to absorb horizontal forces and reduce load transmission.

Each system is specifically designed for the project through structural calculations and performance analyses under actual service conditions.

Anchoring and guidance systems are used in a wide variety of floating structures, including:

• Marinas
• Fishing ports
• Floating work platforms
• Commercial docks
• Access ramps
• Offshore infrastructure
• Floating systems for marine energy

The choice of fastening system depends on a number of technical and environmental factors, including:

• Depth of the site
• Wave conditions and wind exposure
• Current intensity
• Change in water level or tidal range
• Types of seabed
• Expected operational loads at the facility

Proper design of the anchoring system is essential to ensure the safety, stability, and service life of the infrastructure.

• Reduction of the forces transmitted to the floating structure
• Greater stability in waves, wind, and currents
• Adaptation to great depths or changes in water level
• Optimization of the system's dynamic performance
• Less use of the water surface in certain solutions
• Greater durability of the infrastructure
