摘要:
The invention relates to a floating offshore structure (1) anchored to the sea bed (30). The floating offshore structure (1) comprises a hull (2) having longitudinal sides (3,4) and transverse sides (5,6), bow and stern anchoring points (13,14,40) for mooring a tanker vessel (7) alongside the offshore structure (1), a main deck (25) at a predetermined height (H1) above sea level, hydrocarbon storage and/or processing devices (26) being placed on the deck (25), a spacer member (20,21) attached to the structure (1) and projecting transversely from the sides for contacting a tanker vessel (7) moored alongside the structure (1). The anchoring points (13,14,40) of the structure comprise of quick release members (60), wherein the bow and/or stern anchoring points (13,14,40) of the structure (1) are situated on a secondary deck (28,39,51) which projects transversely from the hull (2) of the structure (1) substantially at the heights (H2) of anchoring points (34,35,36) of the tanker vessel (7).
