gauges. For the central anchor line the peak mooring loads per unit 

 length were found to be in good agreement with those measured in earlier 

 prototype -scale model tests (Figure 14). The peak loads measured on the 

 corner anchor line were found to be significantly greater than those 

 measured at the central anchor line.
