A system for transferring fluids from a piping system in a ship's hull (2) to a turning device (5) which is rotatably connected thereto, during offshore production of oil or gas. The turning device is arranged for being anchored to the sea floor and for connection with at least one flexible riser (12, 13) and with hoses (56, 57, 76, 77), which are connected with the piping system via a manifold (14, 15) for each flow of fluid. In order to permit unlimited mutual rotation of the turning device and the hull, sets of first coupling halves (54, 55, etc.) are provided along the periphery of the turning device (5), and are connected with manifolds (14, 15). Each set comprises two first coupling halves for each manifold, and for each manifold two hoses (56, 57, 76, 77) are provided, which are connected with the piping system, and which have a second coupling half (60, 61, 80, 81) which is arranged for connection with said first coupling halves, each hose being long enough to permit the turning device (5) to turn both ways relative to said hull over an angular distance corresponding to the angular distance between adjacent sets of first coupling halves, without said hoses being completely tensioned, when the second coupling half of the hose is connected with one of said first coupling halves.
