摘要

A device for loading and/or unloading of flowable media, comprising a buoy connected to at least one riser (6) and a vessel (30) provided with a pick-up space (77) for the buoy. The pick-up space (77) ends at the bottom of the vessel (30), the buoy being provided with buoyancy means (10) and comprising a first part (1) connected to the at least one riser (6) and a second part (11) which can be rotated with respect to the first part (1). The second part (11) is arranged for locking to the vessel (30). The buoy comprises connecting means for connecting the at least one riser (6) to a swivel (48) for transfer of the flowable medium. When the vessel is connected to the buoy, its position is maintained by a dynamic positioning system.
