Abstract
A device for providing information on the positioning of a moveable coupling located on a movable end of a fluid transfer line, the other end of which is fixed to a base, includes a first GPS device which is positioned on or adjacent the coupling and provides information on the absolute positioning of the coupling in space, and a second apparatus which is adapted to cooperate directly with the first apparatus and provides information on the positioning of the base. The second apparatus is disposed on or adjacent the base and provides, on the basis of the information on the positioning of the base and the information on the positioning of the coupling, information on the relative positioning of the coupling directly relative to the base. Alternatively, the first apparatus is adapted to provide information on the absolute positioning of the coupling in space, the base has a fixed position in space, and the device comprises a calculator for calculating, on the basis of the information on the absolute positioning of the coupling and data on the positioning of the base, information on the relative positioning of the coupling directly relative to the base.
