The invention relates to a fluid transfer system, in particular for LNG in which
an articulated vertical and horizontal mooring arm are suspended from a support
on the processing vessel. Independently moveable ducts, for instance cryogenic
hard piping are placed parallel to the mooring arms such that a transfer system
is obtained in which is the mooring forces are insulated from the fluid transfer
line with which rapid connection and disconnection is possible and which provides
a large yaw resistance. In a preferred embodiment, the mooring system comprises
two vertical arms connected to a triangular horizontal yoke attached to the bow
of the LNG-carrier for improved yaw resistance.
