ABSTRACT:
Lightweight mooring elements for tension leg platforms are formed of a carbon fiber/epoxy matrix material. The mooring elements are preferably in tubular form and include metallic end connectors for interconnecting a plurality of tubular members to form the mooring element. Optionally, the composite structure further includes aramid or glass fibers which increase the resistance of the mooring element to impact damage.
