A taut moored buoyant structure seabed fixing arrangement comprises a water surface piercing buoyant structure 1, a gravity base structure 2, flexible connectors 3, and a releasable locking mechanism that allows rapid release of the buoyant structure from a moored position. The flexible connectors attach the buoyant structure to the gravity base structure such that that the flexible connectors remain in tension in the moored position and a released position. A foundation template 4 may be fixed into and below the seabed and the gravity base structure may be fixed to the foundation template by releasable keys 7. If mobile hazards approach, the buoyant structure can be rapidly removed to a safe distance. When sufficiently deballasted with the keys released the buoyancy forces lift the gravity base structure from the foundation template with the flexible connectors remaining in tension. |
