A universal catenary riser support that can be designed to accommodate all riser pipe diameters typically considered for production of offshore hydrocarbons and allows the catenary riser to exit from the vessel at any azimuth angle and at a wide range of angles from the vertical. The support structure at the keel of the offshore structure is provided with a receptacle to receive a curved riser segment. The curved riser segment is adapted to be received in the receptacle. The curved riser is also adapted to receive a vertical riser section through the offshore structure. Relative motions between the catenary riser and the offshore structure are accommodated by a tapered section of riser or flexible joint attached to the curved riser section. A removable plug may be provided in the curved riser section to prevent water from entering the catenary riser during installation in the offshore structure.
