ABSTRACT:
A terminator assembly is disclosed herein for use in mooring a floating structure to the floor of a body of water. A hawsepipe extends downwardly from adjacent an upper support on the floating structure and is supported by a lower support. Tension members utilized from mooring the floating structure extend downwardly from adjacent the upper support through the hawsepipe and a lower end of the tension member is adapted for connection to the floor of the body of water. A locking device is connected to an upper portion of each tension member for maintaining the tension member in tension by acting upon the upper portion of the hawsepipe to transfer the vertical loads through the hawsepipe to the lower support on the floating structure.
