A constant tension mooring system includes at least an anchor pile 18, a plurality of mooring lines 12, fairleads 10, padeyes (36, Fig 10A) and pendant gravity devices 14. The mooring line runs vertically upward from one end attached to the pendant gravity device suspended in mid-water through a fairlead, connected to a floater 4 and extends downward to a second end attached to the anchor pile. The tension force in the mooring line equals to the submerged weight of the pendant gravity device. A high anchor mooring system comprises at least one high anchor post 16 coupled to an anchor pile, a plurality of mooring lines, tri-plates (66, Fig 18), padeyes and pendant gravity devices. The mooring line has one end connected to the floater and a second end to the top of the high anchor post with the tri-plate in the middle connecting the pendant gravity device suspended below in mid-water. The high anchor post extends upward from the seabed to a height forming a V-shaped mooring line configuration.
