Patent number: 9547308Abstract: A rapid transition floating vessel that is able to follow the yaw motions of a turret moored floating vessel is provided. The rapid transition floating vessel includes a system and processes for dynamically positioning the floating vessel alongside a turret moored floating vessel whereby the floating vessel remains at a safe distance while being connected to the turret moored floating vessel. This is achieved by the floating vessel following the yaw motions of the turret moored floating vessel as the turret moored floating vessel weathervanes about a center of the turret moorings.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: Keppel Offshore & Marine Technology Centre Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Aziz Merchant, Anis Hussain, Ankit Kumar Choudhary
