Device and method for forming an anchor spread

An anchor spread for mooring a marine vessel in a desired position, comprising:

• three or more radially spread anchor lines, each anchor line comprising an anchor in a first, outer end of a seabed chain extending with a second, inner end in the direction towards said desired position and which is connected to a first, outer end of a rope with a second, opposite end for being connected to an anchor winch chain of said vessel,
• wherein said rope is packed into a bundle or coil arranged in a protective container, said second end of said rope for being released and pulled out from said container by means of a least pulling force directly or indirectly at said opposite second end of said rope,
• wherein said bundle or coil is placed at the seabed with said second end prepared for being picked up for connecting to said anchor winch chain, and
• wherein weak links are arranged in said bundle or coil for controlling said release of said rope in an ordered manner, said weak links having a lower ultimate strength than said rope.

A mooring component for use in an anchor spread for mooring a marine vessel, comprising:

• a first, outer end of a rope arranged for being connected to a seabed chain for extending to an anchor;
• and
• an opposite, inner end of said rope arranged for being connected to an anchor winch chain of an anchor winch of said vessel,
• wherein said rope is packed into a bundle or coil arranged in a protective container and is arranged for being released and pulled out from said container at a given pulling force directly or indirectly at a second end of said rope,
• wherein said bundle or coil is for being placed at the seabed with said second end prepared for being picked up for connecting to said anchor winch chain,
• wherein said first end of said rope is connected to a first end of a rigid support body arranged for bracing said bundle or coil and arranged for being connected with a second, opposite end of said support body to said seabed chain.
