A mooring line connector assembly comprises a male connector 2, and a female connector (3, figure 1), where the female connector can connect to the male connector at a plurality of positions along its length, so as to vary the tension applied to the mooring line. In some embodiments, the female connector connects by engaging locking members 17, such as locking balls, into grooves 9 formed on the male connector. Also disclosed is a mooring line connector assembly with a tensioner 28, which comprises a second set of locking members 47, which may be hydraulically actuated to adjust the tension of the mooring line connector assembly. Also disclosed is a method of use of such a mooring line connector assembly.
