Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5878882
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for tension compensation in the tension legs (22) used to moor a floating platform to the sea floor. The apparatus includes one or more hydraulic jacks, each having a cylinder (52) coupled through a load block (42) to a tension leg (22), and having a piston cooperating with a load block plug (64) coupled to the floating platform.
