ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the marine transshipment of a liquid such as oil from a supply tanker to a transport tanker, comprises an elongated vessel having a horizontal track portion extending lengthwise thereof. The horizontal track terminates adjacent one end of the vessel in an inclined track portion that extends down to the end of the vessel at least as low as the water line. Horizontal rails extend along opposite sides of the horizontal track portion and beyond the horizontal track over the inclined track portion. A trolley rides on these rails and is winch-operated to pull a flexible conduit up onto the horizontal track portion when the conduit is not in use for the transshipment of liquid. When the trolley moves in the opposite direction and the conduit is extended, the end of the conduit attached to the trolley will swing up when the trolley passes beyond the horizontal track portion; and in this swung-up position, a conduit connected to a liquid storage space in the vessel can be raised and lowered into and out of coupling engagement with the vertically swung conduit end.
