CA 2511362

The invention relates to flexible risers system for transfer of hydrocarbons between a sea bed installation and a vessel (10) floating at the sea surface. The riser (18) is provided with means (20) for protecting the riser (18) from impacts. The protection means (20) covers at least the upper part of the riser (18) and may be retractable to an in-active position. When in operation, the riser protection means (20) is either suspended from the vessel (10) or from a submerged turret buoy, forming part of a mooring system for the vessel (10). At its lower end the protection means (20) is provided with an annular body (22) surrounding the riser (18), the annular body (22) having sufficient weight to provide a downwardly acting force in the riser protection means (20), causing a stretch or a tension in the riser protection means (20).

L'invention porte sur un système de colonnes montantes flexibles pour le transfert d'hydrocarbures entre une installation sur le fond océanique et un navire (10) qui flotte à la surface de la mer. La colonne montante (18) est dotée de moyens (20) permettant de protéger la colonne montante (18) contre les chocs. Ces moyens de protection (20) recouvrent au moins la partie supérieure de la colonne montante (18) et peut se plier en une position de relâche. Lors de leur fonctionnement, les moyens de protection (20) de la colonne montante sont soit suspendus depuis le navire (10), soit suspendus depuis une bouée sur plot immergée, faisant partie d'un système de mouillage du vaisseau (10). Les moyens de protection (20) sont équipés, au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure, d'un corps annulaire(22) entourant la colonne montante (18), ce corps annulaire (22) possédant un poids suffisant pour fournir une force agissant vers le base dans les moyens de protection (20) de la colonne montante, ce qui entraîne un étirement ou une tension dans les moyens de protection (20) de la colonne montante.
