Abstract

A floating production, storage and off-loading system includes a hull (14) configured for flotation above a seabed and having a deck; and a column buoy (22a) mounted in the hull so as to have an axis substantially perpendicular to the deck; whereby, when the column buoy is fixed to the seabed, the hull (14) is free to move relative to the column buoy (22a) both parallel to the axis and rotationally about the axis. The column buoy may either be mounted in a receptacle (16) within the hull, or it may be installed in a receptacle formed as yoke (7, 6) extending outwardly from the hull. In either case, the column buoy is mounted in contact bearings or friction pads (20, 21, 24a) that act as relatively low-friction guides or bearings that facilitate the rotational and vertical movements of the hull (14) relative to the column buoy (22a).
