Oil tanker mooring system - uses buoy connected by floating pipeline to oil platform

摘要

Mooring system for oil tanker includes ballast weight (10), anchored to sea bottom, enabling tanker (5) and mooring buoy (2) to move around and follow the waves flow direction. Oil production platform (1) is interconnected with the mooring buoy by a looped pipe line (3) kept at a distance from sea bottom by floats (7) anchored by chain lengths (8). Pipe line (6) is connected between the buoy and tanker.
