A mooring arrangement comprises at least two outer anchors, a reaction anchor disposed between the outer anchors and at least two anchor legs that extend outwardly from the reaction anchor to the outer anchors. The reaction anchor has multi-directional effect, being configured to react against outward forces applied by tension in the mutually-opposed anchor legs. Each anchor leg comprises a tensioner, an inner line extending from the reaction anchor to the tensioner, and an outer line extending from the tensioner to the outer anchor. A tensioner line, which may be the inner line or the outer line, is fixed to the tensioner whereas a mooring line extends through the tensioner. An upper section of the mooring line extends from the tensioner to a moored floating body. A lower section of the mooring line forms part of the anchor leg, as either the inner line or the outer line.
