3.7.2. Concept of Choice
In the current concept, the Stevmanta VLA is chosen (Figure
3.86). This is a product of collaboration partner Vryhof
Anchors. It allows uplift at the anchor point, present at
taut leg mooring systems. The anchor can be installed
from one anchor handling vessel (AHV). No ROV (Remotely
Operated Vehicle) is required, cutting installation costs.
The figure below shows a front and side view of the anchor.
The required size for the concept should follow from
mooring system calculations. It is available for anchor
areas ranging from 5 to 20 square meters. The area of
choice depends on the load, anchor line arrangement and
soil conditions.
