Title:
DEVICE FOR TRANSFERRING FLUID ON OPEN SEA
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS6255286
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The equipment for the transfer of fluids such as oil or gas from a drilling rig or platform mounted on the seabed to a ship pitching, heaving and yawing in relation thereto includes an interconnection through which fluid flow can take place. The interconnection has two parts, namely a probe 5 and a probe-receiver 4. The two parts are capable of engagement or disengagement on relative fore-and-aft movement. The equipment also includes a hose 6 to pass fluid to and from the interconnection, one part of the interconnection being mounted upon the platform 1 and the other part being carried by an at least partially spaced stabilized gantry 9 mounted upon the receiver vessel 8. One part of the interconnection 4 is mounted by a releasable anchor and has its hose 6 extendable when the anchor is released. The arrangement is such that the receiver vessel can be temporarily placed in an engagement position adjacent to the platform 1 and the parts 4 and 5 of the interconnection so aligned that engagement can be effected. Subsequently, the vessel 8 can be moved away from the platform to a more convenient position, while the interconnection 4 and 5 remain engaged to allow fluid transfer, the extendable hose 6 being paid out accordingly.
