The general consensus is 4 to 8 times the maximum expected depth, depending on the weather. In really deep water the scope (length of line or chain) will be less though because the ship probably doesn't have more than 150 fathoms of chain.

There are two ways Anchoring way of floating docks:1.If water is less than 3m in depth, steel piles are to be put in proper place and then connected by wheels, which can prevent the floating dock from moving laterally but can automatically rise and fall in line with water level.2.If water is over 3m in depth, anchoring can be used by sinking the anchorage block pulled by steel cables to the water bottom.

It depends on how deep the water is you are anchoring in. If you use all chain then multiply the depth by 3 and add enough extra chain to reach from the water surface to your cleat. If you use all rope then multiply the depth by 5 and add enough rope to reach from the water to your cleat.

How long should your anchor line be?
The length of anchor line is called "Scope" by mariners. The scope of your anchor line should be 5 to 7 times the depth of water that you're anchored in. It should never be less than 3 times the depth. In other words if you usually anchor where the water is 20 feet deep you should have a MINIMUM of 100 feet of line.
