ABSTRACT:
In an offshore terminal for loading tankers, a bottom-supported column is surrounded by a floating collar. Standpipes in the column for connection with transfer lines to shore are connected by flexible lines to the collar. A floating station flexibly connected to the collar extends radially from the collar to support rigid pipes. An elongated powered boom having a power unit at each end supports rigid pipes which are connected by flexible hoses to the manifold of a tanker at one end and at the other end to the pipes supported by the floating station. The wide spacing apart of the power units on the powered boom facilitates the powered boom holding the tanker from swinging and picking up momentum that might damage the terminal.
