Abstract
A system for mooring oil transport, production, and drilling vessels in sea ice in the Arctic. The mooring system combines a submerged buoyant element structurally connected, for vertical movement, to an anchor structure on the seabed, and is designed to anchor a vessel equipped with a mooring system including a device for evacuating seawater from the mooring area between the hull of the vessel and the mooring element. The system can also be used without a vertically slidable mooring element, so that the vessel is directly fixed to the anchor structure using the device for evacuating seawater.
