Abstract
A fluid cargo handling system with a standoff system includes a floating marine platform having an elongated first platform side, an elongated second platform side and a buoyant hull with a hull bottom. A fluid cargo transfer hose is carried on a hose reel mounted on the platform. A drive system maintains the marine platform at an offset distance from another marine platform, preventing physical contact therebetween. The drive system has at least two drive devices adjacent the first platform side and at least two drive devices adjacent the second platform side, with each of the drive devices along the first side engaging a separate driveline extending from the hull bottom adjacent the first side towards the second platform side and each of the drive devices along the second side engaging a separate driveline extending from the hull bottom adjacent the second side towards the first platform side.
