ABSTRACT:
A tension leg marine structure in which a buoyant vessel is maintained in a partially submerged condition by a plurality of hold-down cables. Each cable is fastened to the floating portion of the structure by a quick disconnect coupling which is adapted to be rapidly disengaged, thereby to release a hold-down cable at such time as the latter is relieved of tension. The released part of the unit can then be moved out of the way of floating objects which might otherwise cause it damage.
