A Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a vertically moored floating structure suited for use in a broad water depth range. TLPs have been successfully deployed in water depths approaching 5,000 feet. The platform is permanently moored by means of tethers or tendons grouped at each of the structure's corners.
