ABSTRACT:
A catenary riser support, for a floating offshore structure, that receives the riser and is attached to the floating offshore structure. The catenary riser support is formed from a tube that is rigidly attached to the floating structure and a flex joint in line with the catenary riser. The tube includes a gradual bend that complements the natural catenary curve of the catenary riser. A pipe adaptor attached in line with the flex joint and riser allow the flex joint to be pulled up against the tube. The flex joint allows the catenary riser to move relative to the floating structure.
