Optimal control of the heave motion of marine cable subsea-unit systems [PDF]
, 1995 One of the key problems associated with subsea operations involving tethered subsea units is the motions of support vessels on the ocean surface which can be transmitted to the subsea unit through the cable and increase the tension.

Fatigue Analysis of Deepwater Hybrid Mooring Line Under Corrosion Effect
Polish Maritime Research, 2014 In the deepwater exploitation of oil and gas, replacing the polyester rope by a wire in the chain-wire-chain mooring line is proved to be fairly economic, but this may provoke some corresponding problems.
