ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a hydrocarbon transfer system (1) in which a floating construction (2) such as a FPSO is connected to an offloading buoy (3) via a submerged offloading pipeline (10). The motions of the buoy are de-coupled form the pipeline (10) via connection of the pipeline by a support member (7) and connecting member (8) while the pipeline (10) is extendable in a length direction to compensate for drift phenomena.
