An arrangement for buoy loading of hydrocarbons at sea comprises a buoy element (5) which is connected to mooring lines (13) and riser lines (11) and is arranged to be received in a recess (8) in the bottom of the vessel (1) in such a way that the vessel can rotate with respect to the mooring lines (13) and the riser lines (11). An upper turning body (18) is turnably arranged in the vessel (1) spaced above the buoy element (5), and flexible conduits (17, 23) extend from the buoy element (5) to resiliently supported connectors in the turning body (18). A swivel means (29) is arranged in the turning body (18), one side of which being connected to said connectors and the other side of which being connected to a pipe system of the vessel. The turning body (18) is provided with means (27, 28) for turning it in steps with respect to the vessel in order to keep the turning body (18) and the buoy element (5) within a predetermined mutual angular relationship when the vessel turns about the buoy element (5) due to environmental forces.
