| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a mooring assembly comprising: - a mooring buoy (6) having a central axis, an upper ring portion (200) providing an upper abutment surface (202), - a mooring structure (3) comprising a cavity (5) with a cavity wall arranged for receiving the mooring buoy (6), and - a buoy locking system (7) arranged near the cavity (5) for engaging with the upper ring portion (200) for locking the mooring buoy (6) to the turret mooring structure (6) and comprising at least two locking devices (10) attached to the mooring structure (3), each locking device (10) having a locking dog (106) connected to a force member (110) for axial displacement and exertion of an upward force on the upper abutment surface (202) characterised in that, - the mooring buoy (6) comprises a lower abutment surface (203) placed at an axial distance below the upper abutment surface (202), - the locking system (7) comprises an engagement member (107,208) situated axially below the locking dog (106), for engaging with the lower abutment surface (203) and exerting a downward force thereon, - the buoy being at positions (201) axially above the upper abutment surface (202) situated at an axial clearance (D) from the cavity wall such that axial forces on the buoy are transferred to the turret mooring structure (6) substantially only at the positions of the locking dog (106) and the engagement member (107,208). |
