CATHODIC PROTECTION OF MOORING BUOYS AND CHAIN. PART 2. FURTHER FIELD STUDIES

Abstract

An investigation was conducted into the use of specially cast zinc anodes to cathodically protect the ground tackle of a fleet mooring. While part of the mooring was completely protected by these anodes, a lack of good electrical continuity in parts of the ground legs prevented complete protection there. A cable joined periodically along one of the ground legs provided the necessary continuity and permitted complete protection of the leg.
