PCT No. PCT/NO95/00124 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 26, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 26, 1997 PCT Filed Jul. 10, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/06001 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 29, 1996A vessel is positioned relative to a turret moored to the sea bottom. The turning around of the vessel can occur in a controlled manner about a substantially vertical turret axis. The turret is supported in a defined region above the deck of the vessel by: a) a number of spring-loaded bearing systems; and b) by a number of pressure-regulatable locking systems. The vessel is supported for limited movement vertically and horizontally relative to the turret by a number of separate bearing systems which are arranged in pairs on diametrically opposite sides of the turret. Furthermore, the vessel is adapted to be locked by at least two opposite locking systems in regulatable positions about the turret axis.
