A system for emptying a gravity separated fluid including a flexible bag storing the fluid arranged within a protection structure, the protection structure including a bottom element forming the lower section of the protection structure, the flexible bag being connected to the protection structure, and includes at least one fluid conduit providing fluid communication between the flexible bag and outside the protection structure. A first outlet pipe is arranged inside the flexible bag near the bottom element and is connected to and in fluid communication with the at least one fluid conduit. A perforated tube surrounding the outlet pipe provides an annulus fluid passage, water is supplied to the structure volume, and the fluid is emptied through the at least one fluid conduit, through the perforations in the perforated tube, through the annulus fluid passage to the first outlet pipe.
