A system for positioning a water-borne vessel 10 close to a structure 12 comprises a tension link assembly 4, comprising a tension link 6 for extending between the vessel and the structure, and an actuating system 8 for releasably attaching the tension link to one of the vessel and the structure. In use, the tension link is attached to both the vessel and the structure and is under tension. There is also provided a method for releasably connecting a vessel to a structure comprising providing a tension link connected to one of the structure and the vessel, moving the vessel to a position relative to the structure, whereby the tension link can be releasably connected to the other of the structure and the vessel, releasably connecting the tension link to the other of the structure and the vessel and moving the vessel to apply tension to the tension link.
