ABSTRACT:
A subaqueous conduit extends from a mainland terminal and leads to the base of a tubular mooring stanchion which extends above the sea surface. The base of the stanchion is located at a depth of up to 100 fathoms adapting the stanchion for the mooring of very large oil tankers. Secured to the stanchion is a double floating pontoon structure to which tankers can berth. The tankers are moored alongside the pontoon structure and discharge their oil through swivel-jointed tubes at the upper portion of the stanchion which permit relative motion of the tanker caused by sea conditions. The pontoon structure can be ballasted to submerge the same to a predetermined depth during adverse weather conditions. The stanchion may receive oil from two tankers simultaneously and is adapted for connection to a plurality of submarine conduits by which oil from the stanchion may be received at a plurality of land-based reception points.
