Mooring ropes also popularly known as mooring lines are used for holding a permanent structure or a vessel in water. Mooring lines or ropes are the best substitutes of temporary anchors as they have considerably more holding power, are more convenient, and cause less damage to the marine environment. Mooring ropes are used for holding small or big water vessels such as cruise ships, yachts, jet skis, and submarines as well as holding large floating decks.
