ABSTRACT:
A single point mooring apparatus for tanker loading and discharging is disclosed having a submerged base and a submerged rigid yoke connected directly to the base by a triaxial articulation joint for allowing the yoke to move while connected to a vessel in yaw, pitch and roll with respect to the submerged mooring base. The submerged yoke is connected to the vessel with weighted pendants on port and starboard sides of the bow of the vessel, providing a resilient position restoring force to the vessel as the vessel moves in response to wind, wave and currents.
