The paper will describe how drag embedment anchors (both fluke and plate types) can be installed in situations with only limited room. This can occur when moored facilities have to be placed in close proximity of each other or when there are obstructions present on the seabed such a pipelines or umbilical cables. Solutions will be presented based on actual field layouts, showing methods of deployment that can be utilised.
