摘要

Protecting the integrity of flexible pipelines for single point mooring systems in the open sea, etc., involves using a constructive coupling, firmly joined with mechanical elements, between the chain of the mooring line and the flexible pipes for transferring fluids. The coupling extends for a linear continuing distance between an emerging part and a part immersed beneath the sea surface. The parallel union of the two mooring and fluid lines form a single reinforced line which crosses the sea surface. Also claimed is an articulated structure.
