A muerto is a mooring. As explained, a block of concrete or other deadweight on the seabed with a chain. This chain may be buoyed and visible on the surface and so you can tie up to a mooring line shackled to it.
A tren de muertos suggests a line of these, either in the marina as explained earlier or as swinging moorings in the basin

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Peter - the text uses the term 'amarres' frequently, which I have translated as 'moorings' so I wondered if these were a specific type of mooring. |
| Ah, deadweight moorings then :) |
| Thanks so much, Peter - you've saved a severe headache! Unfortunately for me this nautical stuff forms part of a larger (not nautical) document :( |
