A system and method are disclosed for securing a flexible marine riser to a floating structure. The system comprises a guide ring which is slidably secured to the riser at a location below the riser top. During installation of the riser, the guide ring is pulled into a guide ring receptor located near the bottom of the structure while the riser top rests upon the guide ring. Subsequently, the riser top is lifted from the guide ring while the riser is pulled through the guide ring, whereafter the riser top is connected to a terminal end of a conduit system on the structure.
