For exploration and production in deep to ultra deep water, new solutions consisting of synthetic ropes in the mooring line (less weight) and/or a taut leg mooring system have been developed. While the catenary mooring arrives at the seabed horizontally, the taut leg mooring arrives at the seabed at an angle. One advantage of a taut leg mooring over the catenary mooring is that the footprint is smaller.
