Abstract (en)

An improved loading assembly is presently proposed for conveying a pressurized gas between a floating gas processing unit and another structure. The loading assembly has an emergency disconnection coupler having a passive coupling part and an actuated coupling part, which actuated coupling part can be moved (actuated) from a locked position to an unlocked position. The passive coupling part is mechanically released from the actuated coupling part when the actuated coupling part is in the unlocked position, whereas the actuated coupling part is mounted on the floating gas processing unit regardless of whether the actuated coupling part is in its locked or unlocked position.
