<p>A rotating tower system for transferring hydrocarbons to a ship, comprising a transfer structure extending from the bottom (3) of the ship (1) to the deck (4) thereof, the structure at its lower end being connected to a number of risers (22) and to anchor lines (9) for anchoring of the ship (1), and at its upper end being connected to a rotatable coupling device (20) on the deck of the ship (1). The structure comprises a lower and an upper rotating body (5, 6) which are independently mounted in relation to the ship (1) and are connected to each other via an intermediate connecting unit (7). The lower (5) and possibly also the upper (6) rotating body in its central region is connected to the adjacent end of the connecting unit (7) via an articulated bearing connection (30, 31) allowing occurring angular deviations and possibly absorbing radial and/or axial forces.</p> |
