Abstract

Turret device (2) for mooring an offshore vessel for oil/gas recovery, comprising a hollow cylinder body (3) journalled in a cylindrical well (4) which extends vertically through the hull (1) of the vessel, wherein the hull (1) is adapted for rotation about a vertical axis through said well (4), and said cylinder body (3) at its upper end being provided with a radially outwardly extending collar flange (9). The cylinder body (3) is journalled by a plain bearing (16) beneath the collar flange (9), said plain bearing (16) comprising a ring-shaped slide surface (17) which extends continuously around the periphery of the flange (9), and a number of opposed individual slide surfaces (18) placed at a predetermined distance from each other along discrete sections of the periphery. The separate slide surfaces are in the form of bearing blocks (21-24) made from an elastic material.
