Mooring system for a loading station

Abstract

Mooring system for a loading station, i.e. a mooring system for a loading station which can be located in a safe distance from a production platform/vessel, where a conventional tanker with dynamic positioning and bow loading equipment can be connected for loading/unloading from a stationary floating platform/vessel, where a loading station ( 4 ) is connected to a flexible conduit ( 3 ) anchored to the seabed in a point ( 9 ) by at least one line ( 13 ) to at least one anchor ( 5 ) and at least one weight ( 6 ) resting on the seabed.

1 . Mooring system for a loading station, i.e. a mooring system for a loading station which can be located in a safe distance from a production platform/vessel, where a conventional tanker with dynamic positioning and bow loading equipment can be connected for load transfer to/from a fixed floating platform/vessel, wherein the loading station is connected to a flexible conduits anchored to the seabed in a point by at least one line to at least one anchors and at least one weight resting on the seabed. 
   
   
       2 . Mooring system according to  claim 1 , wherein the loading station comprises a swivel pipe-end-piece and a buoyancy element which provides a positive buoyancy for the loading stations and part of the flexible conduit. 
   
   
       3 . Mooring system according to  claim 1 , wherein the loading station is kept under the surface by the weight resting on the seabed. 
   
   
       4 . Mooring system according to  claim 1 , wherein the line consisting consists of a wire, chain and/or polyester rope.
