Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9964684A2] A method for deployment of mooring systems for mobile offshore drilling units and for connecting the same to the mooring lines (76) thereof. An anchor handling vessel (10) having a stern roller (12), one or more suction anchors (70), a deployment connection (73) and a mooring connection (88). The anchor handling vessel has an anchor deployment mechanism incorporating a handling line having a quick-disconnect socket connector (74) for accomplishing movement of the suction anchor over the stern roller to the sea bottom. After deployment of the suction anchor, the handling line is disconnected from the connection and the anchor handling wire (78) is moved from the deployment connection to the mooring connection for mooring the suction anchor to the offshore drilling unit. A plurality of mooring strings are deployed in this matter to properly station the drilling unit.
