ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system which makes use of a multiple reel on which groups of flexible lines supported by articulated structures (8, 9) are wound. The groups of flexible lines are interconnected at one end to flexible production and utility lines (4) emerging from the seabed and, at the other end, to connection blocks (10, 11) which may be connected to connection plates (15, 16, 17, 18) on at least one connection tower (13, 14) fixed to the vessel. As the connections are redundant, it is always possible to reposition one group of flexible lines while another group is connected, which gives the transfer system (2) total freedom of movement.
