    摘要: The invention relates to a fluid transfer system, in particular for LNG in which an articulated vertical and horizontal mooring arm are suspended from a support on the processing vessel. Independently moveable ducts, for instance cryogenic hard piping are placed parallel to the mooring arms such that a transfer system is obtained in which is the mooring forces are insulated from the fluid transfer line with which rapid connection and disconnection is possible and which provides a large yaw resistance. In a preferred embodiment, the mooring system comprises two vertical arms connected to a triangular horizontal yoke attached to the bow of the LNG-carrier for improved yaw resistance.

    摘要: The invention relates to a transfer system for transfer of fluids, such as hydrocarbons between two floating structures. The transfer system of the present invention comprises two generally vertically oriented duct sections (11, 13) which are placed at an angle (alpha) with the vertical. These two sections are connected to a substantially horizontal third member (12), for instance a third duct section. Near the connection points of the vertically oriented duct sections (11, 13) and the horizontal member (12), a tensioning weight (16, 17) is provided such that a tensioning force in the horizontal duct section is created. Hereby bending/kinking and/or buckling due to currents or floating systems dynamics is reduced. A relatively long horizontal duct section can be used which is preferably made of hard pipe, having a reduced swing.

    摘要: The invention relates to a vessel comprising a swivel assembly wherein each swivel is individually connected to a support structure. As the swivels (10, 11, 12) are not interconnected in a weight-bearing manner, they can easily be removed from the assembly for maintenance purposes. Preferably the piping (28, 29, 30) extending within the central space of the swivel assembly is comprised of individual pipe segments which can be disconnected for easy removal of one swivel in the radial direction.

    摘要: The invention relates to a vessel (1) comprising at least two anchor lines (3,5) connected respectively at a substantially fixed position near the bow (2) and near the stern (4) of the vessel. At least one of the anchor lines comprises at least two branching anchor lines each connected with one end to the anchor line in a connection point (9,10) and connected with the other end (11,12) to the seabed. By means of this system, a stable anchoring arrangement is achieved in which the sides of the vessel are easily accessible by for instance a shuttle tanker. Furthermore the system according to the invention allows for a weathervaning action through relatively small angles, for instance between 0° and 90°. In another embodiment according to the present invention, at least one of the anchor lines is connected to a substantially fixed position pulling system such as a winch system for lengthening or shortening the anchor lines. For providing a weathervaning action through a range of about 0° and 90°, the anchor lines are maintained in a tensioned state by the winch system and are varied in length. In an embodiment the winch system varies the length of the anchor lines simultaneously. The anchor lines near the bow and the stern can be formed of a single anchor line which is connected to a single winch such that the anchor line which is payed out at the bow is taken in at the stern and vice versa.
