Embodiment Construction

[0031] In the drawings, reference numeral 1 designates a loading wharf, typically in the form of a floating facility (FLNG) for handling liquefied natural gas, said loading wharf by means of a Several anchoring devices 13 extending between corresponding first anchors 131 on the seabed 42 are anchored in the body of water 4 .

[0032] Since the coupling unit 2 is connected to a mooring device 24 extending from the quay 1 to other anchors 25 spaced apart from each other on the seabed 42 via a corresponding mobile device 23 arranged on the coupling unit 2, the coupling unit thus 2 is movable relative to pier 1, so the floating coupling unit 2 is associated with pier 1. The coupling unit 2 is provided with an approximately horizontal, upwardly facing contact portion 211 arranged to be able to extend under a part of the bottom 31 of the tanker 3 . The contact portion 211 is preferably provided with several elastic contact pads 211a arranged to protect the contact portion 211 and t...

Abstract

A device for connecting a floating vessel such as a tanker (3) and a floating, fixedly orientated, terminal (1), where a floating coupling unit (2) which is provided with a contact portion (211) arranged to be able to bear against a portion of the tanker (3), is shiftably allocated said terminal (1), in that at least two mooring means (24) extend from said terminal (1) via respective shifting devices (23) arranged on the coupling unit (2), and to respective anchors (25) arranged at a distance from said terminal (1) is described. A method for connecting a floating vessel (3) and a terminal (1) for fluids by means of a floating coupling unit (2) is also described.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for connecting a tanker and a quay for floating loading or unloading of fluids, wherein the quay is fixedly oriented, and wherein a floating coupling unit is movably associated with said quay. Further, the invention relates to a method of connecting a tanker using a floating coupling unit. Background technique [0002] Transferring cargo between tankers and floating units (eg loading or unloading terminals, or production platforms) requires comprehensive measurements regarding mooring and / or anchoring. Applicant's own patent application NO 20064700 (corresponding to WO 2008082306) describes a mooring system for conventional tankers, ie tankers without dynamic positioning systems and bow loading equipment, where the tanker is connected to a fixedly oriented floating load / uninstall dock. The tanker is moored at four points, with two moorings connected to the quay and two moorings secured to buoys anchored away from th...
