Mooring solutions
Acteon delivers efficient, tailored mooring solutions focused on the design and installation of both permanent and temporary mooring systems. Supporting sectors from oil and gas to floating wind, the approach integrates engineering expertise with offshore execution to reduce cost, complexity and installation risk.
With global reach, vessel-handling capability and proprietary anchoring technology, Acteon enables safer, faster mooring system delivery for floating structures in all marine environments.
Permanent and temporary mooring projects delivered, including rig moves and some of the world’s largest floating production systems
Act on efficiency, safety and installation certainty
Acteon delivers safe, efficient mooring solutions that reduce offshore risk and improve project certainty. With engineering insight, global reach and a proven mooring installation record, projects move from design to delivery with confidence.
Selecting anchors that reduce risk
Advanced geotechnical analysis and domain expertise are used to design mooring systems tailored to ground conditions and load demands. Our proprietary anchors from drag embedment anchors to suction embedded plate anchor (SEPLA) and flexibly embedded plate anchor (FEPLA) are optimised for strength, ease of installation and material efficiency.
Streamlining installation to save time and cost
Specialist vessel-handling capabilities and technologies like the IM®-Release acoustic subsea connector support faster, safer offshore operations while reducing fuel use and deck handling requirements.
Meeting standards, maintaining trust
All mooring equipment is class-approved and quality assured through non-destructive testing, break load verification and live digital inventory tracking - supporting transparency and compliance across global deployments.
Permanent moorings
Long-term security through engineered design
Our permanent mooring solutions are engineered to deliver high holding capacity and minimal maintenance in harsh and variable offshore environments. From mooring system design to offshore installation and integrity management, Acteon applies geotechnical insight, advanced engineering and anchor innovation to reduce lifecycle risk.
Technologies like the SEPLA plate anchor and the IM™-H-Link mooring connector are selected to reduce steel use, manage soil variability and ensure fatigue-resistant mooring connections.
Our technology
For long-term mooring systems, Acteon offers high-performance anchors and fatigue-resistant subsea connectors designed to meet class requirements and complex seabed conditions. These technologies support reliable holding power and reduce lifecycle cost.

Temporary moorings
Rapid deployment for reliable floating asset station-keeping
Acteon supports the design and installation of temporary mooring systems for rig moves, floating construction and short-term offshore campaigns. With the industry’s largest mooring equipment stock and deep mobilisation experience, teams respond quickly with fit-for-purpose systems that reduce downtime and avoid unnecessary spread.
Preset options, reusable components and technologies like customised drag embedment anchors and the IM®-Release subsea connector reduce handling, improve safety and accelerate rig relocation - even in weather-sensitive or remote locations.
Our technology
Acteon combines proven tools and engineered connectors to support fast, reliable temporary mooring delivery in all environments. These technologies reduce offshore handling time, improve safety and enable efficient disconnection when needed.
