Abstract
A tying arrangement is described for use with an offshore terminal wherein a transfer structure near the sea surface is anchored by a group of anchor lines extending at downward inclines to the sea floor. A bumper line extends between a pair of anchor lines, so a ship heading for the transfer structure first encounters a bumper line that gradually stops it. The bumper line also enables the coupling of anchor lines to transfer energy from one to the other, to increase the energy absorption capacity and stiffness of the system.
