Abstract: An assembly for storing a line in a coil in a storage room with a bottom and walls, as well as a central, upper opening to guide the line while it is being lead into or out of the storage room. The assembly comprising a central, round pole extending upward from the bottom of the room toward the central opening, and a guiding head mounted on top of the pole. The guiding head is shaped with such lateral dimensions in relation to the axis of the pole that the horizontal dimension is larger that the central opening. When the line is introduced to the storage room through the central opening, the line usually hits the head and is deflected so as to form the coil.

Abstract: A vessel is positioned relative to a turret moored to the sea bottom. The turning around of the vessel can occur in a controlled manner about a substantially vertical turret axis. The turret is supported in a defined region above the deck of the vessel by: a) a number of spring-loaded bearing systems; and b) by a number of pressure-regulatable locking systems. The vessel is supported for limited movement vertically and horizontally relative to the turret by a number of separate bearing systems which are arranged in pairs on diametrically opposite sides of the turret. Furthermore, the vessel is adapted to be locked by at least two opposite locking systems in regulatable positions about the turret axis.
