A catenary riser support tube that receives the riser and is attached to the floating offshore structure. The support tube is attached to the floating offshore structure at an angle from the vertical so as to be in line with the natural angle that the installed catenary riser would assume on a calm day. The support tube is attached to the floating offshore structure at different points along the length of the support tube and thus flexes about its attachment points to the floating structure. This minimizes stresses on the catenary riser.
Support tubulaire de porte-caténaire qui reçoit le porte-caténaire et est attaché à la structure flottante offshore. Le support tubulaire est fixé à la structure offshore flottante en faisant un angle par rapport à la verticale de façon à être dans l'alignement naturel que prendrait le porte-caténaire en place par temps calme. Le support tubulaire est fixé à la structure offshore flottante à différents points le long du support tubulaire et s'articule donc sur ses points de fixation à la structure flottante. Cela permet de réduire au minimum les contraintes sur le porte-caténaire.
