ABSTRACT:
A mooring system for locating a buoy 33 adjacent to a moored vessel 21, in which the buoy is connected to two horizontally spaced apart points on the vessel, and is also connected to the seabed such that it floats with its connections to the two spaced apart points in tension. The buoy is advantageously connected to the seabed by a single tether 27 extending downwardly from the buoy 33 in such a manner to maintain a predetermined minimum distance between the buoy and the vessel. The mooring system may have provision for a tanker 43 to ride to the buoy 33.
