Can someone explain if they are not anchored to something, are they self positioning? i.e. have some propulsion to put themselves back where they were placed initially? Otherwise, these will be floating nightmares for shipping and sailing.
- londons_explore 5y agoThey appear to still be anchored, but just with a rope rather than solid steel.
- de_Selby 5y agoI would imagine they are anchored to the seabed the same way floating oil rigs are.
- EMM_386 5y agoThe article explains all of this, and a lot more. It's absolutely worth the read if you are interested in this stuff. This diagram shows some of the proposed anchoring systems. https://www.economist.com/img/b/1000/679/90/sites/default/files/20210724_STC112.png https://www.economist.com/img/b/1000/679/90/sites/default/fi...
