<p>Apparatus anchored at an offshore location for loading or unloading fluids, such as oil, etc., from a ship, such as a tanker, while said ship is anchored to the apparatus. The apparatus has a long and slender buoy body thereby offering less resistance to forces associated with rough water. A mooring line reel is provided on the apparatus for containing an anchor line used to connect to a ship. A hose reel is provided on the apparatus for containing an unloading hose when not in use. Counterweights are mounted in the apparatus and operatively connected to the mooring line and hose reels for exerting a constant tension thereon so that the mooring line and hose reels are automatically returned to a stored position on the apparatus when disconnected from a ship.</p> |
