A mooring system that results in a spread system without anchor buoys is called a _______________.

A wire rope mooring system
B shepherd's crook mooring system
C spring buoy mooring system
D permanent chasing system
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) permanent chasing system. A permanent chasing system is a type of mooring system that results in a spread system without the use of anchor buoys. In this system, the mooring lines are secured directly to the seafloor or to permanent moorings, creating a spread or dispersed anchoring configuration without the need for visible anchor buoys on the surface. The other options are incorrect because: A) A wire rope mooring system is a different type of mooring that uses wire rope instead of chains or lines. B) A shepherd's crook mooring system is a mooring configuration that uses a single anchor point and curved lines to secure the vessel. C) A spring buoy mooring system uses a buoy to provide shock absorption and tension in the mooring lines.
