Abstract (en)
A floating platform (80) has a mooring line (12) which passes through coupling apparatus (10) tethered to suction anchor (16). The coupling apparatus (10) allows the effective length (20) of the mooring line (12) between the platform (80) and the anchor (16) to be adjusted using a vessel (73) independent of the platform (80). The vessel (73) pulls the mooring line (12) through the coupling apparatus (10), reducing the effective length (20) of mooring line (12), until the floating platform (80) is in a desired position. The coupling apparatus (10) includes a locking device to prevent the effective length (20) of the mooring line (12) from changing once the floating platform (80) is in the desired position. <IMAGE>
