Abstract

See full text

An offshore bulk liquid discharge system and method for its deployment are disclosed. The system is adapted for rapid deployment and facilitates rapid unloading of liquids from an ocean tanker to a shore location. The system includes a base, a mooring buoy tethered to the base and floodable buoyancy tanks which may be flooded causing the base to land on the sea floor. A product swivel mounted on the base provides fluid communication between a tanker hose and a flexible pipeline.
