 2.3 RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS
2.3.1 RISER-TYPE MOORING SYSTEM. These systems are recovered by removing one
anchor chain subassembly at a time. Proceed as follows:
Sling the buoy from the top jewelry.
q
Lift the buoy and riser until the ground ring is level with the deck of the
q
crane barge (see Figure 2-8).
NOTE
In the case of a taut mooring, one anchor chain
subassembly may have to be separated from the
g r o u n d ring by cutting the first A-link below the
ground ring with a torch.
Stopper off the ground ring (see Figure 2-9).
q
Lower the buoy down to the deck on its side. Disconnect the riser, and
q
either block the buoy on its side or place it on blocks to avoid damaging
the tension bar.
Disconnect the riser from the ground ring and buoy.
q
NOTE
the joining link cannot be removed, cut the first
A-link with a torch.
Sling the ground ring and lift it until the anchor chain subassemblies are
q
accessible.
