Transfer system for transferring a medium between facilities

A transfer system for transferring a medium between a first facility and a second facility, the transfer system comprises:

• a first pipe spool;
• a compensating pipe section;
• a second pipe spool;
• a coupling assembly;
• a transfer skid;
• and one or more pipe supports,
• wherein a first end of the first pipe spool is connectable to a manifold provided on a first deck of the first facility and a second end of the first pipe spool is connected to a first end of the compensating pipe section,
• wherein a first end of the second pipe spool is connected to a second end of the compensating pipe section and a second end of the second pipe spool is connectable to a first end of a transfer pipe through the coupling assembly,
• wherein the compensating pipe section is configured to allow a relative motion between the first pipe spool and the second pipe spool,
• wherein the transfer pipe is fluidly connectable with the second facility,
• wherein the transfer skid comprises an inboard assembly and an outboard assembly,
• wherein the inboard assembly is mountable to a second deck of the first facility by one or more mounting fasteners, and
• wherein the outboard assembly comprises:
• a structural frame comprising an inner cross-sectional area configured to allow passage of one or more of the second pipe spool, the coupling assembly, and the transfer pipe, and
• the one or more pipe supports supporting the second pipe spool, the coupling assembly, the transfer pipe, or a combination thereof passing through the inner cross-sectional area of the transfer skid.
