CATHODIC PROTECTION OF MOORING BUOYS AND CHAIN. PART III. FIELD STUDIES WITH CABLES PROVIDING ELECTRICAL CONTINUITY.
Abstract
An investigation was continued into the cathodic protection of a fleet mooring with sacrificial anodes. The zinc anodes used on the ground tackle were specially cast on chain links so that they became an integral part of the ground tackle. The tight riser chain had the required electrical continuity between chain links to permit the flow of electrical current, but it was necessary to use steel cables periodically joined to the ground legs to give them continuity. The completed system provided full protection to the underwater portion of the buoy and to the entire ground tackle. (Author)
