Abstract: The invention is comprised of a Quick Anchoring Equipment system (30) which permits underwater connection and disconnection of anchoring lines (2) to anchoring devices that are already fixedly attached to the bottom of the sea. The Quick Anchoring Equipment (30) consists of chain cable, cables, hooks and buoys specifically organized and configured, which, are attached at the submerged end of the anchoring line (2), which makes it possible with a single support boat (5), together with a remote operated vehicle (6), to carry out this whole anchoring lines (2) operation fundamental to floating platforms (1). The invention also includes the method to install and uninstall the Quick Anchoring Equipment (30).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an anchor which may be buried in the seabed by means of the actual mooring line. One embodiment of such an anchor (25) comprises a fluke (1) which has rear eyes (3, 3A), front eyes (2A, 2B) and auxiliary eyes (4A, 4B). Rear mooring cables (9A, 9B) are connected to the rear eyes (3A, 3B) and front mooring cables (8A, 8B) are connected to rear connection points (17A, 17B) located on the front eyes (2A, 2B). Front installation cables (7A, 7B), which are shorter than the front mooring cables (8A, 8B), are connected to front connection points (16A, 16B) on the front eyes (2A, 2B). The remaining ends of these cables are connected to a connection plate (5), forming the anchor bobstay, and a mooring line is connected to the top of this connection plate (5). As the front installation cables (7A, 7B) are shorter than the rear mooring cables (9A, 9B), the bobstay is configured with the desired angle of attack for the burial of the anchor (25).

Abstract: A new form of construction for synthetic cables used for the anchoring of floating platforms in offshore oil production is described. A desirable requisite for this application is that the durability of the cable is not affected by deterioration of its strong core by virtue of the aggressive mechanical action of particles of the sea bed which might penetrate the cable and reach its core. For this purpose a layer (2) to protect the core (1) comprising a strip of polymer material placed in helical fashion which permits the passage of water and prevents the passage of particles of the sea bed towards the core (1) is placed between the cable core (1) and its outer braided protective layer (2).

Abstract: A plate-type anchor includes a flat sheet forming a central portion of substantially rectangular shape, provided with lateral flanges with a certain inclination with respect to the plane of the principal sheet, a flange corresponding to the front part of the anchor being of pointed shape while the flange corresponding to the tail of the anchor has a cut-out to allow fitting of a device to be used when it is launched. On its upper face, the anchor is provided with two longitudinally hollowed-out lugs which are mutually parallel and fastened perpendicularly to the face of the flat sheet, and to which the chain cables or mooring cables of the anchor are attached. On the lower face are fastened two longitudinal bars perpendicular to the plane of the face, but forming an acute angle towards the front part of the anchor.
