Abstract
The invention concerns a mooring line for a floating platform, preferably a floating wind turbine platform, the mooring line comprising: a first segment able to be attached to the platform; a second segment able to be attached to a sea ground; at least an intermediate segment formed of an elastomeric material and arranged between the first segment and the second segment. The intermediate segment is able to provide a maximal extension greater than 100% of the rest length of the intermediate segment, advantageously a maximal extension greater than 300%. The intermediate segment presents a minimal breaking strength greater than 18 MPa, advantageously greater than 25 MPa.

A mooring line for a floating platform, preferably a floating wind turbine platform, the mooring line comprising:
- a first segment able to be attached to the platform;
- a second segment able to be attached to a sea ground;
- at least an intermediate segment formed of an elastomeric material and arranged between the first segment and the second segment,
- the intermediate segment being able to provide a maximal extension greater than 300% of the rest length of the intermediate segment;
- the intermediate segment presenting a minimal breaking strength greater than 25 MPa,
- wherein the intermediate segment is only able to respond to a single mode of solicitation, said mode being a traction applied by the first and second segments,
- the intermediate segment being made of a single material.
