DETACHABLE TURRET MOORING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B63B21/50 B63B22/02 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to shipbuilding and concerns vessels connected with offshore hydrocarbon production. Detachable turret mooring system (1) is proposed which system includes mooring buoy (6), turret structure (3), as well as system (7) for mooring buoy locking on the turret structure, herein, the turret structure contains intermediate connecting element (4) which contains buoy locking system, where the intermediate connecting element is installed with possibility of rotation in turret structure. Invention also relates to method for vessel containing turret structure mooring to mooring buoy in which method the turret structure is made with possibility to accept mooring buoy. The turret mooring system contains turret structure installed with possibility to rotate on vessel, and intermediate connecting element installed with possibility to rotate on turret structure. The method contains steps of mooring buoy acceptance in turret structure, mooring buoy locking on intermediate connecting element and intermediate connecting element and turret structure rotation relative to each other.

EFFECT: increased reliability and manufacturability, as well as in simplified design of turret mooring system.
