ABSTRACT:
A disconnectable mooring system for connecting a mooring body member and a receiving member. The receiving member is rotatably arranged in a floating structure and is a part of a turret system. The mooring buoy member is provided with structural connections at its circumference cooperating with corresponding connections on the receiving members. Both the receiving member and the mooring buoy member are provided with fluid passages on the side remote from the sealing interface fixedly connected to fluid conduits and at the interface ending into openings. Around the openings seals are provided. Centering devices are present to locate the mooring buoy member and the receiving member relative to each other. For connecting-disconnecting, it is sufficient to operate the structural connections and to raise or pay out the lifting device.
