MOORING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION FOR DEEP WATER TENSION LEG PLATFORM Abstract A method for securely mooring a floating tension leg platform and an anchoring base template. The method in- volves swinging an end of a neutrally buoyant, one piece tendon which has an enlarged connector downwardly into position adjacent an anchoring receptacle, pulling the enlarged connector through a side-entry opening in the receptacle, lifting the tendon to seat the enlarged connec- tor in a load ring of the receptacle, adjusting the effective length of the tendon to place it in tension and repeating these steps for each of the mooring tendons. A one-piece, thin-walled, neutrally buoyant tendon is also disclosed.
