<p>The invention relates to a method of connecting two or more elongate connection members (105) between the seabed and a floating vessel (106), the vessel carrying a connector (102) which is suspended from the vessel by at least two spaced apart suspension members for relative displacement of the connector with respect to the vessel, at least one suspension member being connected to tensioning means (109,109') for exerting an upward force on the connector, the method comprising the steps of: a. attaching one or more connection members to the connector; b. increasing the tensioning force of the tensioning means, or vice versa, and c. repeating steps a and b until the connection members are installed between the vessel and the seabed. In one embodiment a supporting deck (108) is situated above the connector (102), a first section (105) of a connection member extending from the seabed to the connector (102) and being detachably connected to a second section (104) of the connection member via coupling device (103), the second section being supported by the supporting deck (108). <IMAGE></p> |
