A mooring connection including:
- a linkage comprising a plurality of articulated parts, adjacent articulated parts of said linkage in pin joint engagement and arranged to pivot at the pin joint about a first axis;
- wherein at least one pin joint within the linkage arranged to pivot about a second axis, said second axis orthogonal to the first axis.
A gravity anchor for an offshore structure, said gravity anchor comprising;
- a base for contacting a seabed;
- interference members arranged to project from the base and arranged to embed into the seabed.
A sub-structure for an offshore structure, the sub-structure comprising:
- an inlet and an outlet, both positioned above water level;
- said inlet and outlet in fluid communication through an air flow path;
- said air flow path having at least a portion below the water level;
- wherein the air flow path is in heat transfer communication with the water, and arranged to transfer heat from said air flow to said water.
