Method for transferring fluid between a first offshore assembly located in a body of water and a floating assembly on the body of water, associated assembly and installation

Abstract

Method for transferring fluid between a first offshore assembly located in a body of water and an assembly floating on the body of water, assembly and associated installation. The method comprises the following steps: installation and mechanical tensioning of a plurality of mooring lines (70) between the offshore assembly (12) and the floating assembly (16), each mooring line (70) having an active length (76) under mechanical tension between a first point and a second point; fluid connection between a first capacity (22) and a second capacity (44) via a fluid transfer system (64), and fluid transfer between the first capacity (22) and the second capacity (44); continuous measurement of the mechanical tension applied over the active length (76) of at least one mooring line (70);control, by a control system (62) of the active length (76) of at least one mooring line (70), to maintain the mechanical tension applied to at least one mooring line (70) within a predefined mechanical tension range.
