Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011047736A1] A method is provided for disconnecting a buoy from a turret in an arrangement with a vessel of the type comprising a turret mounted rotatably in the vessel and a buoy supporting risers which is lockable to and disconnectable from the turret. The arrangement further comprises mooring lines connecting the buoy with mooring points on the seabed and loading the buoy with mooring forces. Starting before disconnecting the buoy from the turret the mooring lines are manipulated such that at least during the moment of disconnecting the buoy from the turret the mooring forces are lowered or even substantially eliminated. A hold and release device comprises a housing with at least two distanced mooring line gripper means constructed such that an excess length of mooring line may be positioned therebetween and wherein at least one qripper means is adapted to be brought in a state disengaging the mooring line.
