ABSTRACT:
Pipe coupling assembly for mounting on a tank vessel for use in transferring liquid to or from a single point mooring buoy, or for use in other locations where use of a loading arm is not practicable. The assembly comprises a pipe coupling capable of being releasably clamped to a pipe or hose end. Conduit means including an elbow is connected between the pipe coupling and a swivel assembly. A support is arranged to support the swivel assembly spaced from a support surface so that the pipe coupling is rotatably moveable about the swivel assembly between an operative downwardly facing position and a rearwardly and/or upwardly facing retracted position relative to the support surface. A pair of pipe couplings, arranged to operate in synchronism, may be mounted on a pair of swivels to allow simultaneous coupling to a pair of hoses.
