ASSEMBLY FOR TRANSFERRING FLUIDS BETWEEN A VESSEL AND A TURRET STRUCTURE MOUNTED IN SAID VESSEL An assembly for transferring fluids between a vessel (1) and a turret structure (2) mounted in said vessel (1) for a rotation around a substantially vertical turret axis (3) is provided. Said turret structure (2) comprises a swivel (4) having at least one fluid outlet (5) which is connected with one end of a fluid piping (6) of which the second end is connected to the vessel (1). The assembly further comprises a flexible bridge member (12) connecting a part of the turret structure (2) with the vessel (1). The rotation of said part of the turret structure (2) around the turret axis (3) is substantially locked to the rotation of the vessel (1) while a relative displacement between said part of the turret structure (2) and the vessel (1) or the structure fixed to the vessel (1) is allowed. Said bridge member (12) supports the fluid piping (6) to substantially take away the loads from the fluid piping (6) on said swivel (4) and its outlets (5). I, IV
