FIELD: shipbuilding.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to shipbuilding and concerns vessels used in the development of offshore fields of fluids, in particular hydrocarbons. Device is proposed for transporting fluids between a vessel and a turret mounted on this vessel to rotate about a substantially vertical axis of the turret. Turret comprises a swivel having at least one fluid channel connected to one end of the fluid conduit, the second end of which is connected to the vessel. Device also contains a flexible bridge connecting part of the turret to the vessel. Rotation of this part of the turret around the axis of the turret takes place essentially along with the vessel turn, but at the same time the said part of the turret and the vessel or the structure fixed thereon are allowed to move relative to each other. Bridge supports the fluid conduit in order to substantially relieve loads from this conduit onto the swivel and its outlets.
EFFECT: technical result is improving operating characteristics of the device for transporting fluids between the vessel and the turret.
