Abstract: To ensure the possibility of offshore shipping of a liquid medium, primarily oil, from an onshore tank farm into sea-going tankers in the winter time in the ice conditions by ensuring both mooring to an offshore terminal and single-point mooring of a tanker at any time, without depending on the dominating wind and sea condition, in a direction most convenient for it with the possibility of its roundabout turning, with the subsequent servicing of it by transporting a liquid medium into such a tanker the following transformations have been made: a known ice breaker (1) is provided with: a diving station (5) installed on its deck (3), the diving station being provided with a diving trunk (6) made in the hull (2) of the ice-breaker (1), a device for the protection of a flexible hose (8) of an underwater pipeline against ice action, the device being made, according to the first embodiment, in the form of a cylinder (7) provided with guides (13) for moving in a guiding trunk (10) made in the stern side of the hu

Abstract: The invention can be used for a off-shore discharge of a liquid load, mainly oil from a land storage plant to ocean-going tankers during winter time and initial ice formation when the thickness of a stable fast ice is equal to or less than 1.5 m. In the first variant, the inventive system for transferring a liquid load to a tanker comprises an ice breaker (6) moored to a mooring berth, a tanker (1) moored by the fore (8) thereof directly or at a distance to the icebreaker's stem (7), a service ship (9) disposed on the side of the stern of said tanker, a device for protecting the flexible hose (5) of a pipeline (3) against ice and a handling gear for transferring said flexible hose (5) from the icebreaker (6) to the tanker (1) which are arranged in the afterdeck of the icebreaker (6), a diving well (22) arranged in the hull of said icebreaker and provided with a diving station (21) and a service well (12) which is arranged in the afterdeck of the icebreaker (6).
