PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a riser disconnect and support mechanism capable of solving problems that the risers must not touch the sea floor during connection to or disconnection from the floating offshore structure and during the time when the risers are supported in a state of being disconnected from the structure, on the condition that flexible risers typically used with floating offshore structures satisfy the minimum allowable bend radius. SOLUTION: The riser disconnect and support mechanism 10 includes a body part 12, a conical or convex section 14 on the body part 12 and projections 16 on the body part 12 and support structures 18 on the projections 16, as an entirety. The body part 12 includes the conical or convex section 14 and the projections 16 extending radially outward from the body part. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
