heal.abstract	The dynamics of mooring lines are studied for deep water applications. An experimental and theoretical study is presented, aimed at demonstrating the effect that submerged buoys attached on the mooring line have on the static and dynamic tension of the line. It is shown that deep water applications are feasible only through the use of submerged buoys, which may reduce both the static tension due to their buoyancy, and the dynamic tension due to the dynamic modification they cause in the system. This can be achieved, however, only after proper selection of the buoy size and location along the line, and by exploiting a cancellation frequency, which is caused by the attached buoys.	en
