ABSTRACT:
A marine structure situated in a seabed having mooring means designed to provide resistance to the environmental forces acting on the structure. Weights are attached to the mooring means at a distance above the seabed so that the weights do not touch the seabed during normal operating conditions. When extreme environmental loads move the structure a certain distance leeward of its original locations, the weights on leeward mooring means contact the seabed, significantly and immediately increasing the restoring force provided by the mooring means.
