Apparatus for mooring attachment of a floating tension leg platform to a subsea anchorage includes a tendon (46) with an enlarged connector (60,62) on at least one end, the connector being formed by a frustoconical bearing surface (132) extending away from the end to which it is connected. A connector shroud (108,126) partially surrounds the frustoconical surface and is connected to it by an elastomeric bearing (110,136). An inwardly sloping surface of the shroud engages a supplementarily sloped surface (98) formed on the attachment receptacle load ring (96,120) to increase hoop strength. |
