Abstract:
A top interface for subsea riser on offshore, floating vessel has an upper funnel and a co-axial lower funnel in spaced-apart relation. Tension loads on the riser are reacted at the upper funnel while lateral and bending loads are reacted at the lower funnel. The riser top interface may be used with flexible risers or steel catenary risers.

Claim (Index 24):
A method of attaching a subsea riser to an offshore floating vessel comprising:\n pulling an upper end of the riser through a first, upper funnel mounted to and extending outboard from a side of the vessel at a location above a waterline of the vessel and a second, lower funnel mounted to and extending outboard from the side of the vessel in spaced-apart, co-axial relation to the first funnel at a location below the waterline of the vessel, attaching the upper end of the subsea riser to the upper funnel such that tension loads on the riser are reacted to the upper funnel; and attaching the riser to the second, lower funnel such that lateral and bending loads on the riser are reacted to the second, lower funnel.
