<p>The invention relates to a hydrocarbon transfer system comprising a first structure (8) carrying an articulated arm (4, 5, 61, 62), having at a free (64) end a first connector part (65), and a vessel (7) comprising a second connector part (70), wherein each connector part comprises a coupling member (72, 73). The coupling member (72)of the first connector part (65) supporting at least one fluid duct (110) on its exterior, which duct can be placed into sealing engagement with a fluid duct (111) on the vessel (7) along respective sealing faces, and a locking member for locking the coupling members together. The fluid duct on the vessel comprises a substantially horizontally directed first and second duct section (113, 116), the first duct section (113) being via a first swivel (112) with a vertical axis of rotation, connected to piping on the vesse l (7). The second duct section ( 116), being via a second swivel (115) having a substantially vertical axis of rotation, connected to the fluid duct (110)on the coupling member (72)of the first (65)connector part, the first and second duct sections being mutually connected via a third swivel (114) having a substantially vertical axis of rotation.</p> |
