The present invention provides a seabed connection hub (SCH) for guiding a drilling assembly to drill a bore hole and subsequently guiding a deep set tensile anchor into the bore hole. The seabed connection hub (SCH) comprising a body member configured to act as a sea bed anchor. The body member comprises a lower surface configured in use to rest upon, and for at least a portion of the lower surface of the body member to penetrate the sea bed. The body member comprises a guide channel extending therethrough to a first opening provided in the lower surface of the body member. The guide channel is configured to receive and guide a drilling assembly to produce a bore hole. The guide channel is configured to receive and guide a deep set tensile anchor therethrough into the opening of the bore hole. The body member further comprises at least one connector for engaging one or more mooring line termination for an offshore installation. The lower surface of the body member is profiled to extend at an angle to a reference plane defined by the sea bed adjacent the bore hole.
