A system for rotatable mounting of a floating vessel (1) to a submerged loading/unloading buoy {2) which is anchored to the sea bed, the buoy (2) being of the type which is adapted to be introduced into and fastened in a releasable manner in a submerged downwardly open receiving space (3) in the vessel (1), the buoy (2) during operation being connected to at least, one transfer line (4) and forming a transfer connection between this line (4): and a tube system (10) on the vessel.The buoy (2) comprises an outer member (15) which is arranged to be rigidly fastened in the receiving space (3), and a central inner member (16) which is rotatably mounted in the outer member (15), so that the vessel (1)is able to turn about the central member (16) when the buoy (2) is fastened in the receiving space (3). Further, the upper end of the central member (16) is connected to the tube system (10) of the vessel through a swivel means (31) and through at least one flexible joint means (33 resp.34).
Dispositif servant à monter rotatif un navire flottant (1) sur une bouée submergée de chargement et de déchargement (2) ancrée au fond de la mer. Ladite bouée (2) est conçue pour s'introduire et se verrouiller de façon détachable dans un espace de réception submergé et ouvert vers le bas (3) situé dans le navire (1). La bouée (2), en fonctionnement, est accouplée à au moins une conduite de transfert (4) et constitue un accouplement de transfert entre ladite conduite (4) et un système de tube (10) situé sur le navire. La bouée (2) comprend un élément extérieur (15) conçu pour se fixer rigidement dans l'espace de réception (3), ainsi qu'un élément intérieur central (16) monté rotatif dans ledit élément extérieur (15), de façon que le navire (1) puisse tourner autour de l'élément central (16), quand la bouée (2) est verrouillée dans l'espace de réception (3). De plus, l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément central (16) est accouplée au système de tube (10) du navire par l'intermédiaire d'un moyen pivotant (31) et par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un moyen d'articulation souple (33, 34).
