Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS60142192
Kind Code:
U
Abstract:
A sea terminal having compartments for storage of fluids at sea and piping connected to each compartment so that fluids may be transferred between the compartments and a ship. The compartments can rotate with respect to portions of the sea terminal which are moored to eliminate the need for swivel hose connections as the ship swings in relation to the sea terminal. In another embodiment, the sea terminal may be sufficiently large to include drilling apparatus thereby providing a self-contained terminal which can drill into a sea bed, pump sub-sea oil into compartments in the terminal and transfer the oil to a cargo ship. Alternatively, the sea terminal may be transported to a discharge point for discharging the oil.
