Anchoring system to hold a vessel anchored during loading or unloading,
which vessel can be connected to or from the anchoring system in a similar way
under all operating conditions without adjustments in the anchoring system, which
anchoring system is comprising one or more anchors, from each anchor an anchor
line is arranged extending upwards through the sea to a subsea buoy with swivel,
which buoy has connected thereto and suspended the anchor lines and at least one
pipeline for loading or unloading up through the sea, from which subsea buoy at
least one line is arranged to a surface buoy, and further, at least one anchoring
line and at least one pipeline for loading or unloading, arranged to the vessel
either directly from the subsea buoy or via the surface buoy to the vessel, distinguished
in that in each anchor line slack is arranged, and on one or more anchor-lines
one or more clump weights are arranged, and the buoyancy of the subsea buoy and
the buoyancy of the surface buoy is adapted such that by damage on the surface
buoy or the line therefrom to the subsea buoy will the subsea buoy and thereto
suspended equipment not be lowered further down vertically than that one or more
of the clump weights are landing on the seabed, while during loading or unloading
will at least one of the clump weighs on each anchor line be located on or just
above the seabed, and for all types of load in the loading and unloading pipelines
and with all anchor lines connected, the subsea buoy can by ballast adjustment
be brought up to the surface.
