Vessel with mooring system, comprising a turret anchored to the seabed and
a turret casing being part of the vessel, wherein the turret and turret
casing are interconnected by a connecting element comprising a bearing
arrangement and wherein the connecting element has a first end connected
to the turret casing and an opposite second end connected to the turret.
The connecting element is positioned in such a manner that it experiences
tensile forces. When the turret downwardly loads the turret casing the
first end of the connecting element is positioned at a higher level then
the second end thereof. When the turret upwardly loads the turret casing
the first end of the connecting element is positioned at a lower level
then the second end thereof.
