Abstract: A device is described for hull in all essentials symmetrical about a centre axis and arranged to be accommodated resting on a seabed, where the hull is provided with several support means which in an active position protrudes downwards from a hull bottom and is arranged to maintain the centre axis of the hull in a specified position by each support mean being arranged for vertical displacement in relation to one or both of the hull and the seabed. It is also described a method of positioning a hull in all essentials symmetrical about a centre axis on a seabed.

Abstract: A device for connecting a floating vessel such as a tanker (3) and a floating, fixedly orientated, terminal (1), where a floating coupling unit (2) which is provided with a contact portion (211) arranged to be able to bear against a portion of the tanker (3), is shiftably allocated said terminal (1), in that at least two mooring means (24) extend from said terminal (1) via respective shifting devices (23) arranged on the coupling unit (2), and to respective anchors (25) arranged at a distance from said terminal (1) is described. A method for connecting a floating vessel (3) and a terminal (1) for fluids by means of a floating coupling unit (2) is also described.

Abstract: Mooring system for a tanker, i.e. a mooring of a conventional tanker to an installation with fixed orientation, wherein a conventional tanker (3) which is to be moored to the installation is arriving in a direction favorable to wind, current and waves. By mooring a conventional tanker (3) in four points (A, B, C, D) on a tanker (3), wherein the hawsers to the points (C, D) are connected on board a platform (1) and hawsers to the points (A, B) are connected to two separate buoys (4, 5) and then tightening/slackening the hawsers until the tanker (3) has arrived in the desired/correct position.

Abstract: Mooring system for a loading station, i.e. a mooring system for a loading station which can be located in a safe distance from a production platform/vessel, where a conventional tanker with dynamic positioning and bow loading equipment can be connected for loading/unloading from a stationary floating platform/vessel, where a loading station (4) is connected to a flexible conduit (3) anchored to the seabed in a point (9) by at least one line (13) to at least one anchor (5) and at least one weight (6) resting on the seabed.

Abstract: A system for anchoring of a vessel in connection with the transfer of fluids, especially hydrocarbons, between the vessel (1) and a place at the seabed (4) wherein the system comprises a mooring line (5) extending between a connecting means (8) on the vessel (1) and an anchor means (6) at the seabed (4). A lump weight (9) is fastened to the mooring line (5) between the ends thereof, and a loading hose (12) extends between the anchor means (6) and a connecting point (15) at the vessel (1), the loading hose (12) at a place between the ends thereof being connected to the lump weight (9), so that the lump weight forms a point of division between a lower part (16) and an upper part (17) of the hose.
