SYSTEM FOR FLUID MEDIUM TRANSPORTATION TO FLOATING VESSEL Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B63B22/02 B63B27/34 B63B21/50 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: in system for fluid medium transportation to vessel, receiving cavity located in submerged part of vessel and opened downwards is made with possibility of buoy, transfer pipeline and mooring line to be passed through it, is placed from bottom to upper part of vessel with inclination of at least one of its walls and is provided in its upper part with room for equipment, which room is located in vessel hull between its submerged part and deck or on the deck and accommodates lifting device and docking and mooring gears made capable to be connected with flexible transfer pipeline and moorings respectively through receiving cavity. The lifting device is provided with gripper made capable to capture and lift buoy and buoy rope and including carrier vehicle and gripping element. Gripper buoy is made as rugged sealed case with positive buoyancy, with hydroacoustic and light beacons placed in it and is connected by buoy rope with head part of flexible pipeline which is connected with underwater equipment by mooring line. Discharging valve and pump of underwater terminal are made capable to be switched on/off according to hydroacoustic signal.

EFFECT: simplification of system for fluid medium transportation to floating vessel and cutting time for fluid medium transportation.
