Abstract
A single point mooring method, wherein a fixed structure is anchored to sea bed. A first member is connected to the fixed structure rotatably around a first axis and a second member is connected to the first member rotatably around a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The tanker mooring line is connected to the second member rotatably, and a flexible pipeline for transferring fluid to or from the tanker is rotatably connected to the second member so as to compensate stress in the tanker mooring line caused by translational and rotational movements of the tanker.
