Seagrass is a vital component of the marine eco system. It
grows in shallow waters where the suns light can penetrate for the photosynthesis to take place. Vessel owners also
like these shallow waters, this is where the problem arises, traditional dump weight and chain moorings don't allow for both
to co-exist.
The solution is the Seagrass Friendly Mooring, the first cost effective method to moor a vessel without
damage to the seabed.
Our mooring system uses a single point screwed into place mooring post as the anchor point. Attached to
the mooring post just below the sea bed is a set of load spreaders to stabilize the post. We then attach our shock absorber
to the swivel head and run a hawser rope from the shock absorber to a surface buoy.
By using this method we are able to install and remove our moorings from on board our work barge.
The Seagrass Friendly Mooring is available in three sizes
as well as being avaiable as a mooring point only, ideal as an accurate permanent and discrete hold point for floating jetties
and parallel to shore berths to keep your vessel away from the bank.
