Two types of single shared anchor mooring systems and installation method for station-keeping of floating offshore wind turbines are disclosed. The first type has one anchor on the seabed, a plurality of mooring lines, three-dimensional fairlead devices, and pendent gravity units. Each of the mooring lines runs from a first end attached to the corresponding pendent gravity unit suspended in mid-water vertically upward through the corresponding three-dimensional fairlead device attached to the floater and extends downward to a second end attached to the anchor. The mooring line has a constant tension equal to the submerged weight of the pendent gravity unit. The second type has one anchor on the seabed, one pendent gravity unit suspended in mid-water above the anchor, a plurality of mooring fairleads and interconnected mooring lines. Each of the mooring lines runs upward from a first end connected to the anchor through the mooring fairlead attached to the floater and extends downward to a second end connected to the pendent gravity unit. The mooring systems are secured to the floater at quayside, towed-out with the floater, and installed by lowering the anchor and the pendent gravity units under gravity at the offshore site.
