A DEVICE FOR USE IN AND TRANSFERRING A FLUID FROM A STATION ON SEA BED TO A VESSEL, AND VICE-VERSA

摘要

In order to transfer a fluid from a station on the sea bed for a vessel or vice versa, a discharging/loading buoy comprising coupling apparatus for fluid flow is placed in a submerged state and fixed in this state with anchoring apparatus. A vessel is brought and held in position above the buoy by means of dynamic positioning. Then the coupling apparatus for the fluid flow is connected to a coupling section on the vessel.
