Claim 19:
20. A method for fluid cargo transfer comprising utilizing a coupling mechanism to couple a first valve of a first marine platform adjacent to a second valve of a second marine platform; operating the first and second valves to initiate flow of a cargo fluid between the first and second marine platforms; stopping the pumping of cargo fluid between the first and second marine platforms upon identification of an emergency release event; thereafter, closing the first and second valves to isolate the coupling mechanism; injecting a pressurized flushing fluid into the coupling mechanism; flushing the release mechanism of cargo fluid remaining in the coupling mechanism after the first and second valves are closed; and utilizing the injected pressurized fluid to drive the flushed cargo fluid into a drainage tank.
