Abstract
A tension leg marine structure or working platform which is floatably positioned above an offshore working site, being maintained in place by a plurality of tension cables that connect to anchors at the sea floor. A riser which extends between the structure and the sea floor is laterally supported by a bracing system adapted to adjust to the platform's movement and conditions, thereby to stabilize strain applied to the riser.
