Dutch | waar voor het spankabelsysteem een lijn nodig is om de positie vanaf de zeebodem langs mechanische weg aan het oppervlak door te geven,maken akoestische systemen gebruik van zich onder water voortplantende geluidsgolven als communicatiesysteem (the acoustic systems use underwater sound waves as the required communication link, while the taut line system requires use of a wire to mechanically communicate position from the ocean bottom to the surface), de juiste wijze van verankeren bestaat hierin dat het anker zo behoedzam mogelijk op de oceaanbodem wordt neergelaten in plaats van met een schok,daar hierdoor gewoonlijk schade aan het anker ontstaat,de meerkettingen verward raken en/of de afhangende kab (and/or damaged pendant wire, fouled mooring lines, proper setting af anchors sould be done by deploying the anchor as gently as possible to the ocean bottom rather than by spudding, since spudding will usually cause anchor damage), bij het laten vieren van een ketting vanaf diepdrijvende boorinstallatie,wordt de ketting uit de kettengbak,via de kettinschijf en door het onderste geleideblok naar de oceaanbodem geleid (and down to the ocean bottom, in deploying chain from a semisubmersible drilling rig, over the wildcat, the chain is played out of the chain locker, through the lower fairleader).

French | lors du mouillage d'une chaîne à partir d'un engin de forage semi-submersible,la chaîne est dévidée hors du puits à chaînes,via le barbotin,au travers du chaumard inférieur jusqu'au fond marin (and down to the ocean bottom), la mise en place convenable des ancres doit être réalisée en dévirant la ligne d'ancre aussi doucement que possible jusqu'au fond marin,plutôt qu'en l'affalant,ce qui d'ordinaire entraîne des avaries de l'ancre,des tours dans les lignes d'amarrage o (proper setting af anchors sould be done by deploying the anchor as gently as possible to the ocean bottom rather than by "spudding"), alors que le système à câble tendu requiert l'emploi d'un fil pour transmettre,par voie mécanique,la position du fond marin en surface,les systèmes acoustiques utilisent les ondes sonores sous-marines comme moyen de transmission (while the taut line system requires use of a wire to mechanically communicate position from the ocean bottom to the surface).

German | waehrend das Spannseilsystem(Taut line)die Verwendung eines Seiles erfordert,um auf mechanischem Wege die Position vom Seeboden zur Oberflaeche zu uebertragen,gebraucht das akustische System Unterwasserschallwellen als Uebertragungsmedium (the acoustic systems use underwater sound waves as the required communication link, while the taut line system requires use of a wire to mechanically communicate position from the ocean bottom to the surface), richtiges Ankersetzen sollte durch ein moeglichst vorsichtiges Ausbringen des Ankers und nicht durch Fallenlassen geschehen,da letzteres normalerweise Beschaedigungen des Ankers,vertoernte Ankertrossen und/oder beschaedigte Ankeraufholer zur Folge hat (and/or damaged pendant wire, fouled mooring lines, proper setting af anchors sould be done by deploying the anchor as gently as possible to the ocean bottom rather than by "spudding", since spudding will usually cause anchor damage), beim Ausbringen der Ankerkette von einer Halbtaucher-Bohranlage aus wird die Kette aus dem Kettenkasten ueber das Kettenrad und durch die untere Umlenkolle zum Meeresboden gelassen (and down to the ocean bottom, in deploying chain from a semisubmersible drilling rig, over the wildcat, the chain is played out of the chain locker, through the lower fairleader).

Italian | una messa in opera delle ancore dev'essere fatta con lo spiegamento delle stesse effettuato il più delicatamente possibile al fondo oceano e senza farle percuotere sul fondo,poichè cio solitamente puo causare danni alle ancore,l'ingarbugliarsi dei cavi (and/or damaged pendant wire, fouled mooring lines, proper setting af anchors sould be done by deploying the anchor as gently as possible to the ocean bottom rather than by "spudding", since spudding will usually cause anchor damage), nello spiegamento della catena da un impianto di perforazione semisommerso,la catena viene esaurita,a partire dal cassone,sulla ruota dentata,attraverso i guidacavi inferiori sino al fondo aceano (and down to the ocean bottom, in deploying chain from a semisubmersible drilling rig, over the wildcat, the chain is played out of the chain locker, through the lower fairleader), mentre il sistema a cavo teso richiede l'uso di un cavo per indicare meccanicamente la posizione del punto di fondo oceano rispetto al punto di superficie,i sistemi acustici usano,come necessario mezzo di communicazione,le onde acustiche sottomarine (the acoustic systems use underwater sound waves as the required communication link, while the taut line system requires use of a wire to mechanically communicate position from the ocean bottom to the surface).

Pig Latin | oceanay ottombay mientras que el sistema de cable tenso requiere el empleo de un cable para transmitir, por via mecanica, la posicion del fondo submarino respecto a un punto de la superficie, los sistemas acustic os utilizan ondas sonoras submarinas como medio de transmis (the acoustic systems use underwater sound waves as the required communication link, while the taut line system requires use of a wire to mechanically communicate position from the ocean bottom to the surface), la operacion correcta de anclaje debe efectuarse soltando el ancla con la mayor suavidad posible y no dejandola caer ya que esto ultimo suele producir daños en el ancla, se pueden enredar los cab les de anclaje y puede dañarse el propio cable del ancla (and/or damaged pendant wire, fouled mooring lines, proper setting af anchors sould be done by deploying the anchor as gently as possible to the ocean bottom rather than by "spudding", since spudding will usually cause anchor damage), en el lanzamiento de la cadena desde una instalacion semisumergible de perforacion, la cadena se hace descender desde la caja de cadenas sobre la rueda dentada y a traves del guiacabos inferior h asta el fondo marino (and down to the ocean bottom, in deploying chain from a semisubmersible drilling rig, over the wildcat, the chain is played out of the chain locker, through the lower fairleader).
