A transferring sea buoy is moored to the sea floor via an anchoring line.
The anchoring line comprises a chain and an anchoring device for
fastening the chain and the buoy. The anchoring device comprises a
deformable longitudinal element having a first end connected to the
transferring sea buoy and a second end connected to the chain. The
deformable longitudinal element is deformable when the transferring sea
buoy moves. The member has at least first and second portion of thin
rectangular cross-section, each deformable in one plane to absorb
relative motion between the buoy and the chain.
