Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9313976A1] A fluid transfer system comprising a fluid conducting flexible pipe (4) having a first (9) and a second connector end, which pipe during use extends over an area of water, preferably totally or partially submerged in the water, between a first (8) and a second (7) hook-up point and, when not in use, is stored (5) near the first hook-up point (8), a ramp (11) curved downward in the vertical plane for supporting the flexible pipe (4) during the transfer thereof from storage position to position for use, and vice versa, and a means (13) for feeding out/hauling in the flexible pipe (4) via said curved ramp (11), the lower end of which is situated at a distance from the adjacent first hook-up point (8). The ramp (11) is movably mounted (12) for movement from a position for feeding out/hauling in the pipe to a position closer and so oriented relative to the adjacent connection point (8) that said first connector end (9) may be brought into at least approximately aligned coupling position vis-à-vis the adjacent first hook-up point (8).
