FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hydrocarbon transfer system comprises marine platform, support element extending upward from platform deck surface, hydrocarbon transfer pipe with section extending from support element free end located overboard the platform to hydrocarbon store and/or processing device, and connection pipe section communicated with transfer pipe and connected with support element free end by pipe free end. Connection pipe section second end comprises connector to attach it to hydrocarbon carrier vessel. Support element comprises displacement device connected with connection pipe section free end to displace between connected and disconnected positions while support element stands still. Vertical displacement distance from displacement device to deck surface is larger for disconnected position than that for connected position. Horizontal distance from platform side is larger for connected position than for disconnected position whereat connection pipe section in its vertical orientation is located at preset distance from sea level.
EFFECT: easy and safe connection/disconnection, effective storage and transfer area.
