Patent CA-2494181-A1 (CA)
Title: Duplex yoke mooring-system
Inventor: BOATMAN L TERRY
IPC: B63B27/24
Filed: 2003-08-06
Abstract: An offshore offloading system for hydrocarbon products from a storage station such as an LNG/FPSO (1) to a shuttle vessel (2). The system includes a yoke mooring arrangement (11) having a yoke and a connection assembly (12). One end of the yoke is selectively disconnectable to the shuttle vessel, while the other end of the yoke is rotatably connected to an end of the connection assembly which has its other end rotatably connected to a frame which extends from an end of the storage station. The yoke and connection assembly are arranged such that a transverse force in the lateral or y-direction moves the end of the yoke less than twice the movement of the yoke in response to an x-direction force. The system also includes arrangements for providing a hydrocarbon fluid flow path from the storage station to the shuttle vessel when the shuttle vessel is disconnectably moored to the storage station.
