Definition
A large buoy-like device that is pulled into and temporarily secured in a mating cone on the underside of a vessel.
Description
Internal to the buoy is a turret with connections to the mooring and riser systems. The outer buoy hull can rotate freely with the vessel around the turret by means of internal turret bearings. The internal swivel (a rotating connector) transfers well streams, water, gas, signals and power from the geo-stationary risers to the piping system (for example: to an onboard process plant) of the freely weather-vaning vessel.
