As subsea suspended cable structure technology develops, suspended cable structures are becoming a practical means of supporting oceanographic instrumentation systems. A cable structure is presented that suspends a data collection system into a 2,500-ft (760 m) wide submarine canyon. Extensive computer simulations were used to estimate mooring line tensions, anchor loads, and the ability of the structure to hold the payload in the required location. The effects of mooring angle, line size, oceanic environment, and vessel attachment to the structure are discussed. The installation and the capability to fine-tune the final configuration are also discussed.
