Abstract (en)

A turret mooring system for a floating vessel which produces power from on-board power plant is described. The mooring apparatus comprises a turret structure (14) rotatably mounted on a floating vessel (10). At least one mooring line is securable to the turret (14). A riser pipe (26) extends through the turret (14) and is securable to the vessel (10) for rotation therewith relative to the turret (14). An electrical cable (28) is connectable to the vessel (10) and extends into the riser pipe (26), wherein the cable (28) is operable to accommodate torsion created in use by rotation of the vessel (10) and riser pipe (26) relative to the turret (14). <IMAGE>
