Turret mooring system (1) arranged for receiving a mooring buoy (6), which includes a turret mooring structure (3), as well as a buoy locking system (7) for locking the mooring buoy (6), whereby the turret mooring system includes an intermediate connection member, which includes the buoy locking system (7), wherein the intermediate connection member is rotatably suspended from the turret mooring structure. The invention also relates to a method of mooring a vessel, which includes a turret mooring system (1) to a mooring buoy (6), whereby the turret mooring system is arranged to receive the mooring buoy. The turret mooring system (l)includes a turret mooring structure (3) that is rotatably suspended from the vessel and an intermediate connection member that is rotatably suspended from the turret mooring structure. The method includes the steps of receiving the mooring buoy (6) into the turret mooring system (1), locking the mooring buoy to the intermediate connection member, and rotating the intermediate connection member and the turret mooring structure with respect to each other. |
