Abstract

An off-shore mooring (2) for a vessel comprising an elongate pipe (4) located in a hole (6) formed in a sea bed (8). Cement or grout (10) surrounds the pipe (4) when located in the hole (6). One end of a chain (12) is connected to an end of the pipe (4) by a U-shaped coupling member (14). At an opposite end of the chain (12) is connected a first float (16) which floats at the surface (18) of the body of water (20) overlying the sea bed (8). A second float (22) is connected to the chain (12) at a point (24) intermediate the pipe (4) and the first float (16). The length of the chain (12) and the location of the intermediate point (24) are arranged so that in use the chain (12) remains substantially elevated from the sea bed (8). <IMAGE>
